Carol Lee Pautsch BOONE - In Loving Memory of Carol Pautsch. August 26, 1970 July 2, 2025. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Carol Pautsch, who left us far too soon at the age of 54. Carol was a vibrant soul, known for her fun-loving spirit, her wild ideas, and the way she could light up any room with her laughter. She lived life on her own termsbold, creative, and full of heart. Carol leaves behind four beloved children, a devoted sister, and a cherished nephew. She always found a way to make even the most ordinary days feel like an adventure. Though her time with us was not nearly long enough, her spirit will live on in every story shared, every laugh remembered, and in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
