Carole Michelle Horn, née Hayes, age 49, of Toledo,
passed away on January 7, 2021 at Promedica Ebeid
Hospice Residence. Carole was born on April 18, 1971 to
James and Tonie Hayes. She graduated from DeVilbiss
High School in 1989. Shortly after graduation, she began
working at the Toledo Blade and continued her career
there for over 30 years.
She symbolized her dedication to Jehovah on April 11,
1987 and was a member of the West English
congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Although she
struggled with her faith at times, she was proud to have
committed the past two and a half years to renewing
and strengthening her relationship with God. She
enjoyed spending time with her family and was a
devoted grandmother. Nothing made her happier than
caring and sacrificing for her grandchildren and they
were a bright spot in her life.
Carole was preceded in death by her mother, Tonie.
She is survived and will be dearly missed by her son
Kenton Anderson, daughter Kelsey Saunders;
grandchildren Kennadi Anderson, Kaidence Anderson,
Malachi Anderson, Joule Saunders, and Legacy; father
James Hayes; sister Candace Sims, aunt LaBrenda
(Walter Sr.) Holston, uncles Larry Jones and David
(Pearl) Clark; nephew Timothy Sims; and a host of other
family and close friends.
