Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother

Carol A. (Cambria) Slavin, 78, a resident of Pelham, NH, died October 12 at Lowell General Hospital following a brief illness. She was the wife of John J. Slavin who survives her.

Born in Lowell, MA on November 3, 1945, she was a daughter of the late John E. and Mary (George) Cambria.  She received her elementary education at the Academy of Notre Dame and was a graduate of Lowell High School.

Carol worked as an administrative assistant at their family construction business, Chris-Sco Corporation, which is owned by her husband. Earlier in her career Carol worked as a jeweler at Filene's Basement and at Barmakian Jewelers. Most recently, she was a Reiki Master and practitioner.

In addition to her husband John, she is survived by two sons, Scott M. Slavin and his wife Stacy Grillo of Sarasota, FL and Christopher J.

Family always came first for Carol. She had a special connection with each one of her grandchildren. Her infectious laugh would immediately put a smile on your face. Being an avid car buff, she enjoyed going to car shows and cruising in her husband’s classic cars. One of her favorite things to do was to go for ice cream with her husband at their favorite spot, Peach Tree Farm. For many years, Carol and John organized an ice cream social for our NH Veterans.  Something she was very proud of.
