Carol Marie Klatik
Carol Marie Klatik (nee Emerick), age 77, passed away on Feb. 10, 2025, in Chardon.
Born on Aug. 30, 1947, to Carl and Marie Emerick, Carol was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend who found her greatest joy in the love of her family.
Carol was happiest when by the side of her beloved husband, Carl, the love of her life.
She cherished her role as a grandmother, showering her grandchildren with love and affection.
Her passion for owls was evident in her vast collection of figurines and knickknacks, each a reflection of her personality and warmth.
A true homebody, Carol found comfort in the simple pleasures of life, whether watching her favorite crime television shows or enjoying time with her family. At gatherings, her lively spirit filled the room and her legendary cheesecake was always the highlight of the celebration.
Carol is survived by her sons, Wayne Klatik and Jeffrey Klatik; siblings Ken (Pam) Emerick, Pat Bowe, Sue Emerick, Sylvia Angel, Cynthia Finney, Linda Cherry, Deborah Chindland, Joyce Baus and Shirly Schafer; brother-in-law, Clifford Klatik; and many other loving family members and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Marie Emerick; and siblings Stephen Klatik, Gloria Kirby, Mary Berry, Paul Klatik and Dennis Klatik.
Carol’s warmth, love and vibrant energy will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A private family gathering will be held in her honor at a later date.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Chardon. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.burrservice.com.
