OBITUARY Carol Ann Burney July 8, 1939 – September 21, 2018 Carol Ann (Mittenthal) Burney, 79, of Hollywood, FL and formerly Cheshire, beloved wife for 43 years of the late Carl Burney, passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side on Friday, September 21, 2018 after a period of declining health. Born in the Bronx, NY on July 8, 1939, she was the daughter of the late Irving and Lillian (Catron) Mittenthal. Carol grew up in Teaneck, NJ and was a 1957 graduate of Teaneck High School.

She and Carl settled in Cheshire, where she lived for many years before moving to North Haven with her daughter and eventually to Florida seven years ago. Carol enjoyed playing Mahjongg and Canasta and she loved to shop, especially on QVC. Her greatest joy, however, was her family and spending time with them.

Everyone looked forward to the big family dinners she would host and she was happiest when surrounded by her loved ones. A loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Carol, AKA “The Queen Mother,” will be forever missed by her daughters, Melissa Drumheller and husband Dave of Celebration, FL and Maria Babb of Cooper City, FL; four adored grandchildren, Christopher Drumheller, Debra Bodziak, Dan Babb and wife Stacy and Joy Staelens and husband Joe and her four cherished great-grandchildren, Paige Bodziak, Emma Pham and husband Minh, Leah Babb and Joe Staelens. She is also survived by her brother, Ray Mittenthal and wife Arlene, who Carol considered a sister rather than a sister-in-law, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends, both in Connecticut and Florida.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Allen Mittenthal and sister, Rose Mittenthal. Carol’s daughters want to extend a special thank you to the caring nurses and staff at Vitas Healthcare for taking care of her with such love and compassion Funeral service will be Thursday (September 27) at 10 a.m. at Temple Beth David, 3 Main Street, Cheshire. Burial will follow in the Temple Beth David section of Cheshire Hillside Cemetery.
