Born in Springfield, OH, November 25, 1939 to deceased parents Ralph A. and Mildred Reinwald Figgins of Yellow Springs and Xenia, OH, the last surviving child of five sisters, Ruth Joanne Noyes, Martha Louise Poorman, Mary Kathryn Grimshaw, Barbara Jane Bullen, and a brother, Ralph Donald Figgins. She is survived by her loving husband John A. Contestable, Easley, SC, sons John F. and April, Salvo, NC, James A. and Andrea, Bellbrook, OH, and Gino N. and Kimberly, Easley, SC, grandchildren Alexandra L. and Arianna M., Bellbrook, OH, and John B., Salvo, NC, brother and sister-in-law, Robert J. and Deborah Contestable, Boca Raton, FL, an Aunt, Betty Austin, Lexington, SC, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins in NY and throughout the country who were very special to her. Carol was an accomplished ballet and modern jazz dancer, performed with the Dayton Ballet Company and trained in Chicago and New York City. She worked at Thoma Optitions in Dayton, OH, Florida Power & Light in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Sibley's Department Store in Rochester, NY, Antioch University in Yellow Springs, OH, Wright State University in Fairborn, OH, and Clemson University in Clemson, SC, from which she retired. Carol's dancing career ended while vacationing on Fort Lauderdale Beach where she met John 'The Hatmaker' and enjoyed the beach bum life style with him. Marriage and family followed, living in Rochester, NY where she learned and loved Italian cuisine and lifestyle. They moved to Xenia, OH where her family lived and there were brief moves to Cambridge, OH, Fairport, NY, and back to Xenia. Their final move was to Easley, SC where she enjoyed the comforts and generosities of the south. Carol loved traveling to be with family and friends in New York, Florida, North Carolina, the Virginias, and Ohio, reminiscing with special friends and classmates. She enjoyed supporting and participating in their son's academic and sports activities, was a participating member of the Xenia Soccer Club and the Kettering Striders Running Club in Ohio. When grandchildren came along, she was their number one fan, avidly supporting their activities and sports. She was an ardent reader, loved being on an ocean beach, and especially enjoyed Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands with family and friends. Her big heart and generous nature is deeply missed. There will be an informal graveside Catholic burial at Glen Forest Cemetery, Yellow Springs, OH, at 11 AM on March 25, 2017, where she will be near her family.
