Carol Mae Zomer

Carol Mae (Sprang) Zomer passed away unexpectedly on September 25, 2016 in her assisted living home in Woodstock, Georgia with her husband Duane by her side. She was a native of Decatur, Michigan, born May 6, 1951 in Paw Paw, Michigan. She is the daughter of the late Edward C. and Laura E. Sprang, both of Decatur, Michigan.

Carol was a life-long educator, graduating with her Bachelor's Degree in 1969 from Western Michigan University. She began teaching in the Vicksburg (MI) School District, continuing in Chillicothe, Ohio for the Unioto School District, and eventually moving to Cumming Georgia in 1992. She retired from Coal Mountain Elementary School and the Forsyth County School District in 2012. When not in the classroom, Carol always had the desire to help children be successful. All three of her children continued her legacy by becoming involved in education. After her retirement from teaching, her love for the youth of tomorrow was then fulfilled by loving on her 7 grandchildren; Quintin Zomer, Malakai Zomer, Cole Konow, Bennett Konow, Audrey Konow, Zoie Zomer, and Carrabelle Williams.

Carol is survived by her husband of 43 years, Duane Zomer of Woodstock, Georgia along with her children Nicholas Zomer (Tarrah) of Acworth, Georgia, Amy Konow (Collin) of North Franklin, Connecticut, and Emily Williams (Scott) of Dawsonville, Georgia. She is also survived by a sister, Nadine Hoffelder (Don) of Burr Oak, Michigan, an aunt and uncle as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
