Carol DawnHOGGIt is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Carol on Monday, 16 February 2026.
Carol died peacefully aged 82 at Bramble Down Nursing Home in Denbury after several years living with Cortico Basal Degeneration (CBD), a form of dementia.
Beloved wife of Geoffrey, devoted mother of Deborah, Suzanne, Joseph and Cathy, treasured grandmother of George, Daniel, Ted, William and Toby and proud great grandmother of Albi and Finley.
Her love for her family was unconditional and knew no bounds.
They were the centre of her world. She was so proud of all their achievements
and no words can truly express the love that we will always feel for her.
Carol was headteacher of Hennock Primary School in Devon and Penponds School in Cornwall.
After retiring from teaching, she worked for Family Learning in Cornwall and was Chair of Homestart in Camborne. Carol also started the Home Language Scheme in Southampton and worked in special schools early in her career.
The funeral will be held at Exeter and Devon Crematorium on Thursday, 5 March 2026
at 1.30pm and all are welcome.
Afterwards friends and family will meet at the Topsham Room at the Exeter Golf and Country Club.
Family flowers only please and donations to PSPA UK,
the only charity dedicated to creating a better future for people living with CBD.
Keep me informed of updates
