Carol Beauregard OBITUARY Carol Beauregard, age 86, passed away peacefully at her Algonac home on August 1, 2024, surrounded by her family. Born August 7, 1937, in Lexington, Michigan, Carol led a fulfilling life marked by devotion to her family and cherished friends. She was preceded in death by her father (Patrick McNulty) and brother (Lou McNulty).
Carol is survived by her husband, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. A cornerstone of her life was her marriage to Edward Peter Beauregard. Together for 66 years, they not only built a loving family but together they founded and nurtured a successful family business, ‘Colony Marine.
’ Her dedication beamed brightly as she worked alongside her husband, establishing a foundation of success for their joint endeavor, which embodied their dreams and hard work. Carol’s role in the family business was just one aspect of her commitment to her family’s legacy. Carol’s nurturing spirit was most evident in her cherished role as a mother to Shari (Beauregard) Vanderdonck (Steve), Peter Beauregard Jr.
(Linda), Michele (Beauregard) Bishop (Bob), and Lori Beauregard (Jennifer). She was a fountain of wisdom and love to her seven grandchildren: Paul Vanderdonck (Jenelle), Laura Watson (Will), Jacqueline Bishop, Jillian Bishop, Mitchell, Patrick, and Victoria Beauregard, as well as a source of wonder and stories to her great-grandchild; Mila Vanderdonck. Her family was the joy of her life, and she dedicated herself to creating wonderful memories, especially during the holidays, making Christmas a magical time for everyone.
Carol’s passion for gardening allowed her to cultivate not just plants but also deep relationships with those around her, enriching their lives with beauty and care. When Carol was not in her garden, you could find her on the water alongside her husband, enjoying the simplicity of life in one of their antique wooden Chris Crafts. She found solace and joy in spending the winters in Vero Beach, ‘a home away from home.
’ Carol’s commitment extended beyond her family and friends as she devoted much of her time to the Algonac Historical Foundation, preserving the rich history of her beloved hometown. Carol’s warmth and dedication to her loved ones will be deeply missed and forever remembered. The family is honoring Carol’s wishes.
There will be no public funeral or memorial service. The family suggests that any gestures of condolence be made through donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, supporting the research for Leukemia, a tribute to Carol’s everlasting kindness and most treasured charity.
