She was born on May 3, 1967, in Rockland, the daughter of the late Walter Butler Jr. and Martha (Miller) Butler. Carol graduated from Georges Valley High School in Thomaston, Class of 1985, and went on to obtain her associate degree from Casco Bay Community College in 1987. Carol is survived by her husband Joel Verdini, of Windham, and they would have celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary in July.

Additionally, Carol is survived by her brothers, Walter Butler, III of Standish, and Joseph Butler, of Cushing; she leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and a nephew who she loved very much. Carol’s grandson, Colton Munson, who lovingly called her “Bee”, brought so much joy to Carol over the past six years, and together they enjoyed going kayaking, gardening, hiking, and adventuring to the beach. Performing in a variety of capacities, Carol worked for Windham Raymond School Department for 33 years. Carol made an enormous impact in the lives of countless students and staff members during her time working at the superintendent’s office, Windham Primary School, Windham Middle School, and Windham High School. Joel, Allison, and Robert would like to thank Carol’s friends and family for their outpouring of support over the past year.

A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me -- not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" And that is dying... -Henry Van Dyke
