Carole Jean Davidson, of Medora passed away on the morning of January 27, 2025 with her family by her side. She was 86 years old.
Carole entered this life on April 26, 1938 in Astoria, New York. She was the daughter of William and Elizabeth (Bertram) Vianden. She was sister to Elizabeth, Margaret, William, Louise, John, Richard, and Barbara.
Carole grew up in Astoria before marrying the love of her life, Kenneth. She was united in marriage to Kenneth Davidson
on January 10, 1958.
She often joked she was moved to Medora by the Mayflower to be
with her husband, who was working for Mayflower Trucking.
This union of over 67 years, Carole and Kenny were blessed with three children, Marjorie, Michael, and Monica.
Carole was a devoted wife, loving mother, a Grandma, and had a kindness in her heart. She raised cattle and would often come across an injured animal in the field and would care for them until they were strong enough to leave.
Her animals ranged from an injured buzzard to an injured bat. Her caring heart took them all in.
She also loved to cook. Carole was known for her Medora brownies, and she would bake pies for Kenny to take to his coworkers for the holidays. No one went without food in her eyes.
