Carol Drake Friedman
LOGAN, UTAH: Carol Drake Friedman passed away after a long illness on September 19,2009, in Logan, Utah.
Carol was born on April 19, 1930, in Summit, New Jersey, to Raymond F. and Mary Frey Drake. She grew up in Berkeley Heights, NJ and attended Dayton Regional H.S. in Springfield, N.J. Before settling in Centreville, Virginia, in 1972 with her husband Daniel, she lived in New Jersey, Alabama, Wisconsin, and England. She was a member of the Centreville United Methodist Church.
As a teenager during WWII, Carol volunteered as a candy striper, tending wounded servicemen in her hometown. After high school, she worked for many years as a dental hygienist. Her interest in history led her to historical research, preservation, and writing. Carol founded the Historic Centreville Society in Fairfax County, VA and initiated the "Adopt-a-Cemetery" program to preserve local family cemeteries. She was a member and president of the Fairfax County History Commission and became a feature writer for the CentreView Newspaper. Several of her writings were published in the U.S. Congressional Record. Over the years, Carol received many commendations, including the title of "Lady Fairfax" in 1990, "Honorary First Citizen of Centreville" in 1998, and recipient of the James D. McDonnell Award for Outstanding Achievement in Community Service in 2000.
Carol was an avid reader and an accomplished painter and photographer. She enjoyed bridge, bowling, gardening, and bird watching, and was passionate about politics and history. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, telling stories, sharing a pot of tea, and playing Upwords.
Carol is survived by her husband Daniel, of Logan, Utah; two daughters: Susan Johnson (Douglas) of Jacksonville, Florida, and Claire Cardon (Joel) of Logan, Utah; and four grandchildren: Danielle Johnson of Atlanta, Georgia; Michael Johnson of Gainesville, Florida; Emma Cardon and Lucy Cardon of Logan, Utah.
