Carol A. Sirl, age 81 of Madison, passed away on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at UH Geneva Medical Center. Born in Cleveland on May 30, 1942 she was the daughter of the late Frank and Cora (Grimshaw) Takacs. She married James Sirl in Euclid on May 8, 1965.

My deepest condolences to family and friends on Mrs. Sirl’s passing. She was such a lovely, charming (and funny!) lady, who spent her life and career to help care for others. It seems like every time I was with her I experienced that wonderful laugh. Thoughts and prayers to the family and all who knew her…
Mrs. Sirl was like a second mom to both of us. We were at the Sirl household more than our own house. Mrs. Sirl was one special lady and will be missed by all of us. Special prayers for her children Pat and Wendy, her husband Mr. Sirl, and her Grandkids! Shine with the stars Mrs. Sirl!
Wishing peace and comfort to the entire family but especially Uncle Jim, Patrick, and Wendy. It has been several years since I have last seen any of you but know you are always in my heart. Memories of weekends at grandpa and grandma Takacs eating all day and ragging on the in-season Cleveland sports team or each other will always bring a smile to my face.
Love you Mike, Jill, Jake, Max, and Alex
Jim and family,
Carol always had a smile and a special way to bring that and her humor to everyone. We grew up together (since 1949) and I can never remember her not being cheerful and outgoing. She will be truly missed by all those who had the opportunity to know her.

Jim, so sorry to read about Carol’s passing. I’ll always remember the fun on John’s trips. Carol always had such an amazing sense of humor. I’ll remember her always & keep you both in my prayers. Karen Malinowski
