Carol Lee DeVlieger, 80, of Warren, Pennsylvania, passed away on Monday, December 19, 2022, at UPMC Hamot Hospital in Erie. Carol was born on September 29, 1942, at Warren General Hospital to Florence Clarine (Irwin) Frederick and Carl William Ronald Frederick. She was a graduate of Warren Area High School and then worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse at Warren State Hospital, retiring in 1978 to pursue her dream of owning and managing Maple Grove Stables. She taught Western, English, and Dressage to her many students and led countless trail rides through the wooded hills surrounding the farm, including two benefit rides for St. Jude Children's Hospital. Horses were Carol's passion. She began riding in early childhood and performed in horse shows throughout the eastern United Stated and Canada. One of her proudest moments was performing and placing at the Toronto International Horse Show. She, along with her parents, were long-time members of the Y-Bar-U Saddle Club in Scandia, PA.
