DeathDec 8, 2017New Haven, CT, USA
ObituaryDec 13, 2017Waterford - Carol Joanne (Houghton) Lathrop peacefully passed away, surrounded by her loving family, on Friday, Dec. 8, 2017, at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Carol was born on Jan. 24, 1940, in Norwich, to Grace (Russell) and Raymond Houghton. She spent part of her childhood in Florida and then returned to Norwich where she attended and graduated from Norwich Free Academy in 1957. On April 9, 1960, she married Jack Lathrop and they raised three children in their home in Waterford for 56 years, until his death in 2016. In 1974, they acquired a winter home in Vermont, where a lifetime of memories were made while skiing, snowmobiling, and laughing with family and friends alike. Jack and Carol, along with the Perry family, opened Perry-Lathrop Auto Body in November of 1976, which continues to operate today.

After staying at home and raising their children to school age, Carol worked for the pediatric group of Drs. Adams, Robinson and Stein in New London, then later at Thameside OBGYN in Groton until 2015. During that time, she also worked at Perry-Lathrop Auto Body tending to finances and payroll.

Family came first for Carol, and putting the needs of others before her own came naturally. And for this born-to-shop woman, Christmas was her favorite time of year. It is the season of giving, and she loved to overindulge, which is why she earned the title "Santa Carol." She was also known to many as "Grammy Carol," no matter their age, because she treated everyone as her own family, while she happily shared her good fortunes in life with those around her. She loved to travel all around the country with Jack, her family, and their close friends, to places like Florida, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Ocean Isle, and along the NASCAR circuit.

In her most recent years, she bravely battled breast cancer in 2011, and then in 2015 was diagnosed with and battled Acute Myeloid Leukemia. These diseases did not stop her as she continued on with her daily life of caring for Jack, running errands, shopping, and visiting with grandchildren. She had the biggest heart and the strongest will to live of anyone we know. She truly was a fighter and fought until the very end, when she succumbed to a battle with pneumonia.

Carol is survived by her daughter, Karen (Tony) Macrino of Waterford; two sons, Jeffrey (Anna) Lathrop of Quaker Hill and Todd (Vickie) Lathrop of Waterford. She has seven grandchildren, Caroline Surdo, Jeffrey Whiton, Megan Reed, Sarah Lathrop, Jack Lathrop, Joseph Lathrop, and William Lathrop; and two great-granddaughters, Maya Reed and Emma Surdo; and will also be missed by her cat, Willie. She was recently predeceased by her husband, John C. Lathrop of Waterford, and her two beloved cats, Winston and Simon.

Her family and many friends are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the loss of this wonderful woman and appreciate the kind words, memories, support and heartfelt sympathy that has been sent from near and far. We would like to thank the doctors, physician's assistants, nurses, and support staff at Yale New Haven Hospital MICU and Smilow Cancer Center for the exhaustive medical care and compassion that they genuinely expressed to Grammy Carol during these last hard-fought weeks of her life.

Calling hours are from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15, at the Thomas L. Neilan & Sons Funeral Home, 48 Grand St., Niantic. An additional calling hour will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, followed by a Service at 11 a.m. at the funeral home. Private Burial at the Union Cemetery in Quaker Hill, with her beloved Jack, will be at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation at tbbcf.org or The Cactus Jack Foundation, P.O. Box 145, Waterford, CT 06385.

ObituaryFeb 7, 2014June 21, 1951 - February 5, 2014 CASHION Gary Alan Houghton went to be with The Lord on February 5, 2014 at the age of 62. He was born on June 21, 1951 in Okemah, Oklahoma to Harry and Kathleen Houghton. Following his graduation from Edmond Memorial High School, Gary attended Central State University and, shortly after, began his 40-year career as an insurance adjustor. With his servant's heart and willingness to help others, this proved to be a natural fit. However, Gary's greatest passion was his love for his Savior and his family. What began as a casual acquaintance between Gary and Carol blossomed into holy matrimony in April 1976. Six years later, they began raising a family. From birthdays to family vacations, they made cherished memories. With his gentle spirit, Gary taught his children to live in love and welcome others with an open heart. Gary will always be remembered as a kind, thoughtful, and loving husband, father, and golfer. His cheerful demeanor will be missed here on earth and welcomed in Heaven. A celebration of Gary's life will be held on Saturday, February 8th, at 11:00am at Heritage Baptist Church - 14317 N. Council Road, Oklahoma City, OK 73142.

ResearchMichael Hooten: I am descended from Thomas Hooton 1752-1841, who served in the American Revolution. My line of Hootons living in Indiana in the mid 1800s indicated that the family was from England and the name was originally Houghton. My line back to Thomas is well established, but have not personally been able to validate any claims as to Thomas' Father. I would be curious to know if I am connected to any of the lines you have researched.1
