Carol Markman

Carol’s journey as a caregiver for her husband Bob began after he was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment in 2014. Although looking back there were signs of cognitive decline earlier. Bob started to attend the programming at the LIAD Center in October 2018 and loved the time he spent at the Center. The pandemic created challenges for everyone and LIAD Center came through with on-line programing that Bob really enjoyed and benefited from.

Carol is an active participant in the Thursday caregiver group and is so grateful for the help and loving support the group provides to her. She looks forward to giving back to others the support she received.

Carol accepted this honor before Bob passed away in December 2022 and is humbled to do so. She has a daughter, June, whom she lives with and her husband, Ken, in Connecticut and a son Charles who lives with his wife and grandchildren in Michigan. Carol is very grateful for all the support and caring she has received from her friends, community and LIADC.
