Barbara Jean LaJoie of Caro, age 80, passed away on Friday, April 21, 2023, at the Tuscola County Medical Care Community with her family by her side. She was born October 21, 1942, in Caro, the daughter of the late William and Mary (Janks) Ailing. Barbara attended Caro High School and went on to work at the Lapeer State Hospital. She then was a sales representative for Queens Way and later, Avon, retiring after thirty dedicated years. On July 27, 1967, Barbara married the love of her life, Donald Gene LaJoie, Sr. in Mayville. Together they shared over forty-six wonderful years and countless memories. Sadly, Donald preceded her in death on September 26, 2013. Throughout life, Barbara was quite the social butterfly and could make friends with anyone. She had her own clubs and activities she coordinated. This continued when she moved into the Senior Commons and would plan activities with the other residents. Barbara enjoyed crafting, knitting, putting puzzles together, playing bingo, and genealogy. She never turned down
a chance to go out to eat, but don't you dare serve her mac & cheese. Barbara had a love for birds and watching them, especially hummingbirds and cardinals. Above all else, she loved being with her family, her kind and caring ways will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
