Carol Lee (Hubbard) Pingitore, April 8, 1946 – March 30, 2026:
Carol Lee (Hubbard) Pingitore, who lived 79.98 years on this earth, passed from this life to the glorious presence of her Savior, on Monday, March 30, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of deep love, steadfast faith, and a life poured out for others.
Carol was born on April 8, 1946, in Rapid City, SD, and moved shortly thereafter to Kenosha, WI where her life and story began to take root. She was the beloved daughter of Gordon and Frieda Hubbard and older sister to Leonard and Diane. Carol attended local schools, graduated in 1964 from Mary D. Bradford High School and went on to UW Kenosha Extension Center.
On May 27, 1967, Carol married the love of her life, Timothy Pingitore. Together they built a beautiful life marked by devotion, partnership, and a growing love that only deepened with each passing year—a love story on display to all who knew them.
Carol taught 3rd grade at Holy Rosary Catholic School in 1969, where her natural warmth and love for nurturing others was evident. She then taught a joint 2nd and 3rd grade class the following year until the birth of their first child, Kimberly, in March of 1971.
In 1974, Carol and Tim encountered Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, and from that moment on, everything in Carol’s life was shaped by her devotion to Him. She lived with a wholehearted love for God, and her life became a reflection of His love—expressed through her care, generosity, hospitality, and unwavering commitment to others.
Carol was a deeply devoted and servant-hearted mother to Kimberly Lalgee, Korene Cooper, Teresa Reynolds, Jonathan Pingitore, and Rosalie Marvin. She warmly welcomed her children’s spouses—John Lalgee, John Cooper, Jonathan Reynolds, Deborah Pingitore, and Christopher Marvin—as her own.
She was a joyful, engaged, and deeply caring grandmother to Claudia, Carmen, Jevan, Vivienne, Alexandria, Xavier, Reese, Evan, Annabelle, Chloe, Edan, William, Timothy, Vera, and Oliver. She also got to meet some of the first of her tribe of great-grandchildren—Indigo, Zara, Asa, Vienna, Jalen and soon to be born, baby Sunil.
Carol was the kind of grandmother who made everyday moments feel special. Whether it was shopping trips or going out for meals and treats, she delighted in being with her grandchildren. At her home, there was always a jar full of Oreos, and a Cola never far from her hand—simple joys that became cherished memories for those she loved.
Known affectionately as “Carebear,” a nickname given to her by coworkers at Morrison’s clothing store, Carol lived up to that name in every way. She had a remarkable ability to notice what people needed and quietly step in to meet those needs—often before a word was spoken. Whether through a meal, suddenly showing up with things needed (or just mentioned), a word of encouragement, or practical help, she showed up for people again and again. She gave of herself—not in a loud or attention-seeking way, but in the quiet, faithful, day-in and day-out service that builds people, strengthens community, and reflects Christ in a way that words alone never could—that is a rare and beautiful thing.
As a pastor’s wife, Carol extended her care far beyond her immediate family. She “mothered” hundreds of people over the years, offering both loving encouragement and honest, truth-filled counsel when it was needed most. Her home was always open—many individuals and families lived with Carol and Tim for seasons of time, experiencing firsthand her generosity, hospitality, and nurturing spirit.
She faithfully cared for her own family as well, preparing dinner each night for a household of seven—yet somehow always having enough for anyone who happened to join them at the table (which happened more often than not)!
Carol held close to the Scripture, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” She often shared that the word delight meant being moldable in His hands—a truth she didn’t just speak but lived.
In her later years, Carol faced the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease, a journey she walked for over 12 years. When she eventually required full-time care, she was lovingly supported at Harvest Home Assisted Living in Mt. Pleasant, WI. Throughout this time, Tim’s devotion never wavered—he visited her daily, spending hours by her side, a continued testament to their enduring love.
Carol will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her generous heart, her honest and compassionate spirit, and the countless lives she touched through simple, consistent acts of love.
Her legacy lives on in her family and in the many people who were shaped by her care a life of generosity truly well lived.
A memorial service will be held on Monday April 6th, 2026 at 6:00pm at Living Light Christian Church. (6102 39th Ave Kenosha) Visitation with the family will be on Monday at the church from 4:00pm until the time of service. Burial will be private.
Tim kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to Living Light Christian Church in support of its missions in Liberia and India.

God be praised for all He does for us while on this earth, giving us opportunities to serve Him – even in the face of diseases, so that one day we can join Carol in the eternal home with our Lord and Savior!

A beautiful woman inside and out 🩷 I’m so happy she is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now. I will see Carol again and that brings me so much joy. My sympathies to your family. You were deeply Blessed to have had her in your life.
Mike Stanich says:
Dear Pastor Tim & your outstanding family of Believers,
You have displayed a remarkable consistency of faith, hope & especially love towards your wonderful spouse(mother)—enduring with her through hill and valley especially in recent years with the potential of the miraculous always in your thoughts — a wonderful display of courage and kindness for everyone around you to see. This is Praise Worthy! I am personally grateful to Carol for her influence on my Debbie in the early years of her faith journey as a wife, mother and church leader — she was kind-hearted and had a gentle strength and grace about her that really resonated to us. It really should come as no surprise that this “unsung hero” was rewarded for her faithfulness to be surrounded by a group of children and spouses who are so gifted musically! My memories of Carol were of a Christian who was fun loving and had a very keen sense of awareness of what God was doing, especially in meetings. All her enthusiastic sowing & witnessing with services that began in basements during the early years of Living Lights existence has now touched the world — what a great example & legacy. My prayer is for Shalom, Strength and a fresh perspective for all of you during this difficult moment. I know you will all excel with Carol cheering you on from the “Cloud”!
Respectfully,
In Christ,
Michael Stanich & family
