Carol Ann Bard

2/27/1938 – 5/20/2025

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we share the sad news of the passing of Carol Ann Bard on May 20, 2025.

She died peacefully at home surrounded by her family at West Gilgo Beach.

Carol was born in Queens, NY to Harold and Annette Borst in 1938. She graduated from Andrew Jackson High School, class of 1955, and got her bachelor’s degree at Adelphi and her master’s degree at Hofstra. She taught in the Freeport Public School system in NY for years and later at Norwood Public School in NJ.

She served as an elder in the Norwood Presbyterian Church and on the Board of Directors at West Gilgo Beach.

Carol was married to Nathan Bard for 57 years and was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother.

In 1944, her parents bought a house at West Gilgo Beach when she and her sister Ellen were 6 and 4 years old. She was a beloved member of the community, teaching generations of kids to swim in the bay, and she always carried lollipops in her beach bag for all of the kids.

She loved swimming, reading, knitting, painting, cooking and spending time at the beach with her family and friends.

Carol is survived by her husband, Nathan, her sister Ellen Fessler, her children Stephen (Laura), Mindy (Brian), Kerry (Erik) and Danny (Carrie), and her 10 amazing grandchildren – David, Emilie, Andy, Ben, Charlie, Alex, Noah, Courtney, Katelyn, and Jeremy, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

OBITUARY

Alan John Ferrero Jr.

10/24/1963 – 5/2/2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Alan J. Ferrero, Jr., a devoted husband, loving father,  brother, uncle, and loyal friend, who passed away on May 2nd, 2025 at the age of 61.

Born on October 24th, 1963, in Freeport, NY, Alan lived a life marked by integrity, hard work, and quiet strength. Alan was a devoted husband to his loving wife, Nancy, and a proud father to his two daughters, Alexis and Deanna. His unwavering love for his family was the cornerstone of his life, and he found immense joy in supporting and watching his daughters grow into the strong, compassionate women they are today.

Alan had a true passion for fixing things. Whether it was a broken appliance, a car engine, or something small around the house, he had a gift for bringing things back to life. It was one of the simple pleasures that brought him great joy. Equally, Alan was a passionate sports fan, especially when it came to his Miami Dolphins and the New York Yankees. A loyal Dolphins supporter through every high and low, Alan never missed a game. Football Sundays were a ritual, often filled with spirited commentary, hopeful predictions, and an unshakable belief that this could be the year.

Alan will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his humor, loyalty, and the profound love he gave to his family and friends.

In honor of his love for animals, with a special devotion to his cherished Penny and Bean, the family kindly requests that donations be made to ‘All About Cats’ in Freeport, NY, in lieu of flowers.
