Carol J. Vahue
July 18, 1947 — July 11, 2014
Carol Jean (Borate) Vahue, 66, passed away on July 11, 2014 in Rochester, NY. She was born on July 18, 1947 in Rochester, NY to Edgar and Mildred (Metcalf) Borate.
Carol grew up in Rochester, NY where she attended East High School. As a child, Carol was very independent and always looking for an adventure. She acquired numerous pet animals and enjoyed riding horses. After high school, she briefly studied psychology at Monroe Community College and proudly managed the Continuing Developmental Services (CDS) Group Home in Rochester, NY for several years. In her later years, she took pride as a homemaker and renewed her Catholic faith at Holy Apostle Church.
Carol met Bernie J. Vahue in 1967 and married him 1981 in Rochester, NY. They remained happily in love for 47 years. Carol was devoted to sponsoring the Cheyenne Indian Reservation in North Dakota and sponsored Children for Christian Charities. Her passion for nature, animals and the outdoors took them to many parts of the United States. Her independent spirit led her to explore many interests in life. She enjoyed her dogs, gardening, painting, horseback riding, tattoo art, leather-crafting, Native American Indian culture & music and especially spending time with her family.
