Carol F. Blazier

Carol Blazier (née Wicks), age 90, of Middletown, New York, and formerly of Wayne, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Carol was the elder of two children born to Kenneth and Marjorie Wicks. During her childhood, her family moved to Long Island, where she attended Sewanhaka Central High School and proudly graduated with the Class of 1953. Following high school, Carol earned an associate degree in secretarial studies and quickly entered the workforce, spending the next several years employed by several prominent advertising agencies.

In the late 1950’s, Carol met the love of her life, Alfred Blazier. The two were married on April 8, 1961 surrounded by friends and family. After briefly residing in Nutley, NJ, they settled in Wayne, NJ, where they made their home for more than fifty years and raised their three children, Rick, Raymond, and Laura.

After the birth of her children, Carol dedicated herself to her family as a homemaker before later returning to the workforce as a real estate agent with Weichert Realtors in Wayne. She worked as a Real Estate agent for approximately eighteen years, eventually retiring in 1998.

Carol had a deep appreciation for nature and animals. She found joy and peace in creative pursuits such as painting, crocheting, needlepoint, and various arts and crafts. An avid reader, she especially enjoyed works of fiction, with James Patterson and Harlan Coben among her favorite authors. Gardening was one of her greatest pleasures; she took pride in growing flowers and vegetables, nurturing her many houseplants, and spending quiet moments watching the wildlife in her yard, from squirrels to the birds that gathered at her many birdfeeders.

A longtime member of St. Timothy’s Lutheran Church in Wayne, Carol gave generously of her time, including volunteering as a Sunday school teacher. Above all else, her greatest passion was her family. Carol and her husband Alfred cherished 53 years of loving and loyal marriage until Alfred’s passing in 2014.  She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, known for her quiet nature, caring heart, and deeply private devotion to those she loved.

Carol also held a special place in her heart for her two rescued cats, Jacob and Buddy, who were cherished companions.

Carol is survived by her two sons Rick Blazier and his wife Diane of Wayne, NJ and Raymond Blazier of Chester, NY, one brother David Wicks of Colorado, two grandchildren; Kyle Blazier and his wife Veronica, and Cailey and her fiancé John Malley, and one great grandchild Nolan Blazier.  She was predeceased by her husband Alfred William Blazier in 2014 and by her daughter Laura Blazier in 2023.
