Carol Ann Stefanich Coty passed away on November 21, 2020 at St. James Healthcare following a courageous battle with a series of illnesses. Carol was born in Butte Montana on June 1, 1938 to Martin and Jule Stefanich. She attended Harrison Grade School and graduated from Butte High School in 1956, where she was a member of the National Honor Society and a delegate to Montana's Girls State.

After graduation, Carol worked as a legal secretary for Butte attorney George P. Sarsfield.
