She was the daughter of Marilyn (Thorton) Osgood and Donald Stevens. She was born on September 2, 1973. Carol was a cheerleader, played gymnastics and did swimming at Immaculate Conception School. In high school she taught young children to swim and was a lifeguard at the Wellsville pool. She played softball, tennis and dived on the swim team. After high school she attended Alfred State College and obtained a degree in Medical Records and Business Administration. She worked at Jones Memorial Hospital, in Dr. Crandall’s office, and at Otis Eastern Services, Inc. She substitute taught in Wellsville where she also worked as a teacher assistant. She was so proud to coach the diving team. Carol loved riding horses, Kate and Jack; loved her labs, Bailey and Sidney, hunting pheasants with her dad in the fall, and spending many hours at Keuka Lake at the family cottage (Aunt Ruth’s Place). She spent many hours helping with the Balloon Rally Fundraiser (setting up, selling tickets, etc.) and in July she helped her special friends chase the balloon Child’s Play. She is survived by her parents, loving best friend, Jeremy Burrell, and her daughter, Allison Ann, whom she loved more than life itself.
