Carrol Miner

North Stonington — Carrol Wilson Miner, 91, of North Stonington, passed away peacefully at his home Sunday, Feb. 10, 2019. Born Jan. 20, 1928, on the family farm in North Stonington, he was the son of the late Maurice C. and Lucy P. Miner.

Carrol spent his entire life on the family farm in North Stonington. For the last several decades, he and his late brother George — and later their sons — ran the farm as the G&C Miner Farm.

Carrol was a lifelong member and past master of the North Stonington Grange. In his younger years he was active in 4-H. He graduated from NFA.

Carrol will be remembered for always being quick with a laugh, being a hard and tireless worker and having a big smile. And he was still riding a tractor and raking hay past his 90th birthday.

He leaves his wife of 61 years, Elizabeth (Blake) Miner; daughter, Marilyn Morris (Steven) of North Stonington; son, Orrin Miner of North Stonington; daughter, Mildred Moreash of Plainfield, and daughter Dulcie Ilgenfritz (Chuck) of West Kingston, R.I.; grandchildren, Mindy and Danial Morris, Allison and Jonathan Henson and Jessica, Sarah and Alex Ilgenfritz; nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter, Helen J. Henson, and son-inlaw, Mark Henson, and by his brothers Maurice and George.
