FRANKLIN — Carol L. Leduc, a beloved mother, homemaker, and former longtime resident of Danbury, passed away peacefully on Aug. 19, 2025, at the age of 85. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on Sept. 13, 1939, Carol lived a life filled with love, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her family.
Carol was the cherished daughter of the late Arthur and Ruth (Krock) Mantha, and she was the devoted wife of the late William L. Leduc. She is preceded in death by her beloved son, Keith Leduc. She leaves behind her son, Curt Leduc.
A graduate of Sturbridge High School, Carol was a dedicated homemaker who created a warm and welcoming environment in her own home — a sanctuary for friends and family alike. Carol's love and strength were the foundation upon which her family thrived, and she instilled in them the values of compassion and resilience.
Carol’s life was a testament to love and devotion. Her legacy will be carried on by those who remember her fondly and by those whose lives she touched. Her family and friends will forever cherish the memory of her gentle spirit, her generosity, and her unyielding dedication to those she loved.
Arrangements are being handled by Smart Memorial Home, smartmemorialhome.com.
Carol L. Leduc will be laid to rest alongside her beloved William in the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen.
