Carole J. Egan

Carole J. Egan, 81, entered into eternal life on October 26, 2023 at her residence. Born and raised in Albany, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Stasia (Zalucky) Bucci. A graduate of Cardinal McCloskey High School and the College of St. Rose, she had taught grades K-6 in Troy and South Colonie, from which she retired.

An active parishioner of over 57 years at St. Pius X Church, Carole served as a lector and eucharistic minister and had worked in the sacramental preparation programs for baptism, confirmation, and marriage. In retirement, she was a tutor for Literacy Volunteers, working with students from Guyana, Bangladesh, and China. She also served on the library committee at Shaker Pointe, where she had resided for 12 years.

Carole was an avid reader who enjoyed crossword puzzles, genealogy research, crafts, and sewing. She liked visiting museums and fabric stores. Carole loved traveling domestically and abroad and was grateful for the chance to visit many European countries, especially Italy and Poland.

Carole was predeceased by her beloved husband of 56 years, Jack Egan. She leaves behind her cherished children, daughter Kathy and son in law Larry Witkowski, her son Brian Egan, and her treasured grandchildren Brendan Carroll, Ashlynn Carroll, and Evan Witkowski. She is also survived by several cousins, her brothers in law Jerry Fournier (Peggy), Jim Fournier (Dolores), Bob Fournier (Cathy), her sister in law Mary (Brian) Lord, and numerous friends.
