Caroline Elaine (Enders) Neal, 77, of Norwalk, passed away Monday, September 9, 2024, just one day before her birthday.  She was born September 10, 1946, in Norwalk, Ohio, to the late Vernon and Dorothy (Johnson) Enders.  

Caroline first met her husband, Thomas, in the seventh grade, eventually marrying on April 2, 1966.  Caroline was proud to have shared 54 years of marriage with “Tommy”.  She was a 1964 graduate of Norwalk High School.
 

She was a devoted mother and grandmother that dedicated her life to raising her family and grandchildren.  She spent countless hours volunteering to support their many activities - The Ohio National Guard with her husband, sporting events with Cindy and Chris, Music Boosters with Ryan, and many, many car shows with Eric.  More than anything, her grandchildren were her pride and joy.  She will be greatly missed.
 

She is survived by her children: Cynthia (Craig) Sage of Norwalk, Christopher Neal of Norwalk, Ryan Neal of Findlay, and Eric Neal of Livonia, Michigan; three grandchildren: Megan Ann Sage, Sidney Elaine Sage and Westin James Sage; her sister, Ruth Ann Enders; and many nieces and nephews.  Caroline was preceded in death by her parents and her husband on March 5, 2020.
