Carol Ann Stanton Rewalt, age 79, passed away peacefully in her home in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on November 9, 2026.
Born in Woodbury, New Jersey, Carol grew up in Gibbstown, NJ, and graduated from Paulsboro High School. She later raised her family in Salem, West Virginia, before retiring to South Carolina in 2009, where she enjoyed her later years.
Carol found great joy in being a homemaker and raising her family. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Her life was filled with family, faith, music, and a love of nature. She especially enjoyed birdwatching, traveling, singing in the church choir, and baking pies from scratch and beginning each morning with her crossword puzzle in the newspaper.
Faith and community were important parts of Carol’s life. She was a member of Christ Presbyterian Church in New Jersey, Salem United Methodist Church in West Virginia, and Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church in West Virginia. She shared her beautiful voice as a member of the choir at all three churches. Her community involvement also included serving as a Girl Scout leader, participating in the Nature Club of Gloucester County, and volunteering with Meals on Wheels.
Carol is survived by her husband, William Rewalt; her four daughters, Christine Peterson (Mike) of West Virginia, Rebecca Moses of South Carolina, Ann Corns (David) of West Virginia, and Judy Moran (Domingo) of Utah; seven grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
She is also survived by her sisters, Arlene Spears (Wayne) of North Carolina and Edie Kille (William) of New Jersey, along with twelve nieces and nephews.
Carol was predeceased by her parents, David and Betty Stanton; her brother, David Stanton Jr.; and her sister, Barbara Swinton, husband Robert Cassel.
Carol will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her faith, her love of music and nature, and the many lives she touched throughout her journey from New Jersey to West Virginia and, finally, South Carolina. Her greatest happiness was found in the simple pleasures of life and the love she shared with those around her.
She leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a family who will miss her dearly.
A memorial service is planned for a later date in New Jersey.
