Carol J. (Dietrich) Latham, 84, of Concord, passed away at home in the presence of those who loved her on October 10, 2021.
She was born Carol Dietrich in Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1937. She attended the Providence Hospital School of Nursing where she trained as a Registered Nurse and graduated in 1959. She married Donald Latham of Northampton, Massachusetts in 1960. Over their 54 year marriage they lived in Southern California, Southeastern Michigan, Northern California and finally returned to Massachusetts where they lived in Concord.
Carol was a loving and supportive mother, spouse and friend. She gave of herself as few people do - always offering to help those in need. She was a seamstress, quilter and knitter and she loved making blankets for newborn babies. She loved her dogs and spoiled them every day. She was a Patriots fan and her favorite meal was a lobster roll or a plate of fried clams. Carol was a Nurse. She found ways throughout her life to return to her calling; working on hospital floor units, in physician offices, in hospice care and volunteering at the Concord Council on Aging.
Carol is survived by her son, Daniel Latham, and her daughter, Lyn-Ann Bedoun, son-in-law Joe, and their children Brian and Marie.
