Carol Guastella Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Carol Clardy Guastella, who left us on October 20, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on September 2, 1957, in Barberton, OH, Carol was a cherished companion, a loving sister, and a dedicated professional in retail sales. Carol worked for well-known companies such as Mast General Store and Orvis, where she was proud to be recognized among the top salespeople in the country, earning the impressive distinction of being #17 top sales at Orvis. Her knack for sales was rivaled only by her warm personality and genuine kindness towards everyone she met. Creativity and joy filled Carol's life, whether she was making crafts with her beloved Cricut machine or engaging in games with family and friends. Her spirit shone brightly through every creative endeavor and game night. Carol faced many challenges in her life, including the loss of her first husband, but she found solace and love in her marriage to Alfredo "Al" Guastella, with whom she spent 15 wonderful years. Together, they shared a joyful life and many cherished memories. In addition to her husband, Carol is survived by her sisters, Tracy Burnley and Rebecca Verrastro. Each of them carries forward the laughter and love that Carol spread throughout her life. Her beloved dog, Jack, who recently passed away, will forever hold a special place in their hearts. Carol Clardy Guastella will be deeply missed, but her warmth, strength, and love will forever remain in our hearts. Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Norma and Kenneth Burnley, Jr. Friends are encouraged to share their favorite memories of Carol with the family by clicking on the button labeled "Share A Memory."
