Ms. Parrinello spent her entire work career in the banking industry and retired in 2023 after over 30 years of service to the Village Bank in Newton, MA. She always looked forward to going in to work on a daily basis, as her co-workers were like a second family to her.
Carol was a faithful member of Saint Denis Parish in Douglas and loved being able to spend time with her friends at church functions. She would often take time out of her day to visit the Douglas Senior Center or be outside doing yard work, however she was truly the happiest when she was spending time with her grandchildren. They brought a great amount of happiness and joy to her when she was with them.
