March 8, 2023 by Editor

Stevensville – Carol Agnes Spang, 80 of Stevensville, MT, passed away in her sleep on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023 at home, as was her wish. 

She was born July 19, 1942 in Waterbury, CT to Cora Bell Ashe and later adopted by Elmer Rosenthal after he married Cora.

She is survived by four brothers: Bill Lauer and Bob Rosenthal of Hamilton, Ken Rosenthal of Langley, Washington, Skip Rosenthal of Stevensville, and two sisters, Beverly Rosenthal of Bend, Oregon and Dee Dee Ashe of Lake Havasu, Arizona. She is preceded in death by her sister, Donna Rosenthal. 

Carol has four daughters, Cathy Spang of Stevensville, Judith Hutchinson of Coolidge, AZ, Roberta Taylor of Henderson, NV and Donna Renfro of Joshua Tree, CA. 

She was blessed with eight grandchildren and 11 great grandkids.

Carol worked many jobs with her last employment as an Electronics Inspector for General Dynamics in Pomona, CA for over 10 years. 

She was married to Ralph D. Willcox for 32 years before his death in 1993. She married again in 2002 to Raymond F. Spang. They resided in Stevensville with Raymond passing in 2014. 

Carol enjoyed bowling, crocheting, sewing, bingo, and her favorite large root beer floats. She is remembered by all as a very sweet person.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. at the Riverside Cemetery in Stevensville. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.whitesittfuneralhome.com.
