Besides Carol Ann’s love for her son and family, her passion was sports, mainly baseball. Carol Ann could be found watching her favorite sports knowing all their players, scores, stats and more. She was a lifelong fan of her beloved Notre Dame and couldn't be more excited to watch the game, however, baseball was her favorite pastime.

Through Carol Ann’s life she dedicated many years not only working the Class B Baseball office at Cene Park in Struthers, Ohio, but also running the press box, concessions, and major tournaments at Pemberton Baseball Park in Youngstown, Ohio. During these years she was nicknamed “Mama Ming” and was always prepared for a game.  Carol Ann would wait all year for the annual trip to Johnstown, PA for the AAABA Tournament where she had been attending since the early 90s. Carol Ann also had the honor of being named NABF Woman of the Year in 2002 for her dedication to baseball.

She loved to cook all the Slovak foods and bake for her family.  At Christmas, her family and friends always received care packages of kolachi and cookies. She was a master at Thanksgiving dinner and her family will fondly remember the time spent together during “her” holiday.  Her family knew they could count on her to never forget a birthday or anniversary.
