Carol Lynn Benjamin

October 18, 1940 — August 30, 2025

Flint

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Carol Benjamin, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, who passed away peacefully at the age of 84 on August 30, 2025. She is survived by her husband John (67 years), her daughters Debbie and Tammy and her son Jason along with many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Born October 18, 1940, Carol's life was defined by her unwavering dedication to family and the joy she found in the simple pleasures of life. She prayed daily for family, friends and loved ones, lifting life's issues to God.

Carol's love for her family extended to her role as a grandmother, where she found immense joy in spending time with her grandchildren, often sharing stories and laughter, that only a grandmother can offer. Memories created through special times around the pool, painting ceramics, sleep overs, dances, crafts and baking will extend through generations. Her spirit and love will live on in the hearts of all her loved ones.

A true lover of life, Carol had many God given talents, but perhaps none more dear to her than cooking, tending to her beautiful yard and sewing. The kitchen was where Carol’s creativity flourished, filling her home with delicious aromas and comforting meals that became a tradition for her family, including holiday meals and Christmas cookies. Her yard was a reflection of her nurturing spirit, where she spent countless hours tending to her flowers and plants. Over the years she donated thousands of blankets to hospitals, homeless shelters and anyone in need.

In accordance with Carol's wishes, a private service will be held for immediate family only. We ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Carriage Town or His Ministry of the Bristol Rd. Church of Christ in her memory.

Carol will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Her legacy of love, care, and dedication will continue to inspire and comfort those she leaves behind.
