Carol A. Hess
July 27, 1950-December 14, 2024
Carol A. Hess, 74, Petersburg, Huntingdon county, passed Saturday the 14th of December at UPMC Altoona after a three-month battle with an aggressive leukemia. She was born in Altoona, the daughter of the late Phillip P. and Frances (Adams) Hess.
She lived in Altoona her entire life, graduating from Altoona High School in 1968.
After graduation, Carol became a secretary for the Gage Company for many years and then later was employed at Giant Eagle.
She leaves behind her daughter, Stephanie Younkins and her husband, Richard of Davenport, FL; granddaughter, Katie Dillon and husband, William of Slippery Rock and their son, Cooper Dillon. Carol is also survived by her companion, Doug Kerr and his children: Shelly Ivory of Altoona and Andy Kerr of Clayton, NC, along with four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; a sister, Barbara Hess and companion Michael Despot of Altoona; a brother, Ray Hess and wife Linda of Petersburg; as well as nephew, Brian Mowery and wife Janet of Altoona.
Carol was preceded in death by Stephanie’s father, Jim Over and a very special nephew, Ty Mowery.
She was blessed with many good friends, whose company she cherished. Family and friends will miss her greeting cards on birthdays, anniversaries and all the holidays-she never forgot.
Friends will be received from 1-2 pm on Saturday, January 4, 2025 at E. Merrill Smith Funeral Home, Inc., 2309 Broad Avenue, Altoona, PA 16601.
