Carol A. Weich
ONEONTA — Carol A. Weich died at her home at 10 Blanchard Ave., Oneonta on Friday, Dec. 26, 1997 following a long illness.
Carol was born in Rockville Center on Oct. 27, 1934 the only child to Henry and Caroline (Curley) Weich, both of whom predeceased her.
Carol graduated from high school in Rockville and entered the convent. However, after taking her initial vows she withdrew to pursue a career in nursing. She graduated from Middletown State Hospital School of Nursing in Middletown and won a scholarship to Columbia University in New York City. There, she earned a bachelor's degree in nursing education cum laude.
From that time on, Carol advanced rapidly in nursing and participated in various areas of nursing including psychiatry, general medicine and surgery, intensive care and cardiology while in New York City.
In the '60s she moved back to Middletown to work initially as the diretor of inservice education and later assistant director of nursing at Horton Memorial Hospital.
From there she accepted positions of director of nursing at various hospitals. In 1973 at the age of 39 while director of nursing of an 800-bed medical center, Carol became disabled from a stroke.
However, her disability did not slow her down for long. She was soon continuing her strong desire to work with and educate nurses and other health care workers and the general public in health care and the need to know legalities and rights regarding such care. She taught classes for nurses in continuing education programs at the State University College of Technology at Delhi, the State University College at Oneonta and the surrounding hospitals and nursing homes. She also taught classes to the general public as part of her participation in church programs.
Carol had many hobbies and interests and for years kept active with them. They included collecting old radio tapes, comic books and comic book histories and teddy bears. She was also an avid reader and enjoyed mysteries, American history since 1900 and biographies. She was involved in hand crafts and knitted many sweaters and painted on fabrics — such as blocks for quilts, sweatshirts and tote bags.
In the early '70s, Carol joined United Ministry Church in Delhi and had her membership transferred to Elm Park United Methodist Church when she moved to Oneonta.
Carol is survived by her longtime friend, Kay Dailey.
A service to celebrate the life of Carol Weich will be held today at 2 p.m. at the Elm Park United Methodist Church, 401 Chestnut St., Oneonta.
The service will be conducted by the Rev. Stephen Heiss of Elm Park Church and the Rev. Rees Warring of Scranton, Pa. It has been requested that there be no calling hours.
