NORTH ANDOVER – Mrs. Carol Jean (Rosenberger) Venetiou, 80 of Andover, formerly of Tucson, AZ and Seattle, WA and the beloved wife of the late Dimitrios "Demetre" Venetiou, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 21st, 2024, at Edgewood LifeCare Community in North Andover.

Born in Glendale, California, Carol was the daughter of the late Rex and Dorothy (Nicholson) Rosenberger. She was raised and educated in Southern California and continued her education at the University of Southern California where she received her bachelor's degree.

Shortly after her college graduation, Carol was hired by Pan Am and for several years, soared through the skies, traveling the world as a flight attendant. It was Carol's time as a flight attendant that would lead her on a fateful trip to Greece meeting a native, Demetre Venetiou, who provided her helpful advice for her stay in Greece and took great pride in escorting her around, visiting the Islands and eventually, taking her to his home to visit his family, starting the beginning of their beautiful love story.

Together, Carol and Demetre made the United States their home, living in Seattle, Washington where they raised their loving son, Alex. Although traveling and being a flight attendant was a true passion of Carol's, she would devote over 30 years to her professional career as a Commercial Assessor for the State of Washington until their retirement and relocation to Tucson, AZ.

Though she dreamed of a large family, Carol poured her heart into being a gracious host and entertainer, bringing together her church community, family, and friends for unforgettable gatherings. With a love for music and dancing, she lit up every room she entered with her vibrant spirit, infectious smile and energy. Carol's adventurous spirit extended to her hobbies, from hiking to staying healthy, always eager to tackle new challenges. A skilled Bridge player, she relished in friendly competitions and never backed down from a game. With a sharp mind and unwavering determination, Carol lived life on her terms, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

She is survived by her loving son, Alex Venetiou and his wife, Elisabeth of Andover; her grandchildren, Elijah and Sophia Venetiou of Andover and her sister, Ann Green of Houston, TX.
