In addition to her husband of 63 years, Frank Kaminsky, Carol leaves daughter and son-in-law Theresa and Fred Prince of Seven Lakes, North Carolina; son and daughter-in-law Frank and Laurie Kaminsky of Winchendon; and daughter Lynn Beecher of Hopkinton. She leaves seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Carol was preceded in death by her sisters, Patricia Campbell and Nancy Gaucher.
