Carol Bouwens of Leroy, a primary-grade teacher at Gates-Chili for 34 years, died Nov. 10 at age 84, according to her obituary in the Times of Wayne County.

She is survived by Carl, her husband of 64 years; her son, Alan Bouwens, and his wife, Marjorie; and her daughter, Holly Horgan, and her husband, Kevin.
Other survivors include four grandchildren, Pearl, Rachel, Trevor and Elaina; and her brother, Lester Reynolds, his wife, Laurie, and their family. Her sister, Amato, whose husband was Larry, died before her.
