Carol Mae Zedlitz was called home by our Heavenly Father on Monday after a valiant battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Carol was born in Toledo, Ohio and graduated from Devilbiss High School, earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education from the Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Carol was wed to Robert (Bob) Zedlitz on August 24, 1962 in Reno, Nevada while on a trip to California and started their married lives together for the next 60 years.

Prior to raising her two children, Carol taught first grade. She was a devoted wife and caring mother. She built life-long friendships through her love of golf at Castlewood Country Club, her bridge club, and dedication to her faith and church groups.

Carol is preceded in death by her sister Martha Philipps, father Francis N. Cuthbert, and mother Clyde A. Cuthbert of Lambertville, MI. Carol is survived by her loving husband Bob, and devoted children Bob Zedlitz (Mattie) of Stockton, CA and Jean Zedlitz of Livermore, CA. Her nephew Hal Philipps (Laurie), and their three children Reilly, Kelsey, and Denyil Philipps of Arlington, IL, and her niece Amy Kallberg, daughter Emma, MN.

Friends and family are invited to a celebration of Carol’s life on Saturday, August 6, 2022 at 11:00 am to be held at Lynnewood United Methodist Church, 4444 Black Ave., Pleasanton.
