Carol L. Tancer 1939-2022

Born Oct. 16, 1939 in Youngstown, Carol was the daughter of the late Lyle and Margaret Barnhouse Clemons. Carol was a graduate of Boardman High School.

Until her retirement, Carol was the office manager for the family-owned business, Vic’s Tree Service. She was a member of the Mahoning County Car Club and the American Truck Historical Society.

She put her family above all and was always active in both her children’s and her grandchildren’s lives, whether it was volunteering as a Girl Scout troop leader, PTO, or chauffeuring her grandchildren to various activities.

Carol enjoyed “winning” board games, cards, and traveling in their motor home. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed bringing the family together at the table.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 39 years, Victor E. Tancer, whom she married Jan. 20, 1981, and who died Feb. 8, 2020. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Pat Guappone.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her children, Kimberly (Juston) Martin, Barry (Shelley) Tancer and Daniel (Paula) Tancer; her grandchildren, Ashley (James) Lucia, Jacob (Paige), Joshua and Emma Tancer; and her sister, Minnie Huff.

The family will receive relatives and friends from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 12, 2022, at Lane Funeral Homes, Canfield Chapel, with Pastor Ron Blakeman officiating a funeral service at 10:30 a.m. at the funeral home.
