LEWISTON — Carol Louise Frederick, 76, of Weld passed away on Monday, Dec. 14, at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.

She was born in Lawrence, Mass., on Aug. 13, 1939, the daughter of Herbert and Gladys Hillis. She graduated from Natick High School in 1957.

As a young lady, she went to secretarial school at night, then moved around the country, working in different states in many different positions, including working at insurance companies, driving a tow truck and working for Strategic Air Command in Nebraska, just to name a few.
