SOUTHWICK: Carol Ann (Moriarty) Drummond, age 72, (1949-2022) devoted wife of 56 years to Richard Drummond, Sr., passed away on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, at Baystate Medical Center and is now lending her voice to the choir of angels, a gift she was so well known for.
Born on July 9, 1949 in Springfield, Massachusetts and lifelong resident of Southwick, Massachusetts, Carol was the daughter of the late Thomas Moriarty. In addition to her father, Carol was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Michelle.

Carol worked for the Superintendent of Southwick Schools as an administrative assistant for several years before she graduated from The New England Bible Training Center in 1988 and became a licensed and ordained minister. Carol worked alongside her family at JJ’s Variety in Westfield for several years and retired early from her career at The Hartford Insurance Company in 2011 to dedicate her time to care for her husband and spend more time with her family that she adored so much.
