Carol Neumann, 86, of Englewood, Florida passed away on February 9, 2022 at Village on the Isle Hospice House in Venice, Florida.

Born on April 3, 1935 in Tarrytown, NY, Carol was the daughter of the late John Ardsley Manchester and Grace (Chaplan) Manchester.

She and her husband Philip J Neumann Jr had a dairy farm in Delhi, NY where they raised their children Carol Lee Cantwell, Susan L Decker, and Philip J Neumann III.

Besides her parents, Carol was predeceased by a sister (Sandra Twitty) and a brother (John A. Manchester Jr).

She attended Anderson College in South Carolina and the University of Connecticut.

She married her husband Philip in 1955 in Scarsdale, NY. Carol and her husband bought a dairy farm on Peakes Brook Rd, Delhi, NY in August of 1957 where they lived until 2007 when they relocated to Englewood, Florida.

Carol was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who devoted her life to caring for her family. She loved to have family gatherings and barbeques and was known for her fabulous meals during the holidays.

Carol baked everyday, did a lot of canning, and always made things from scratch. She enjoyed mowing the lawn, watching the UConn girl’s basketball games and working on election day. Her greatest joy was spending time with her husband and family, including attending her children and grandchildren’s sporting events. She cherished going out and socializing with friends.
