Wife of Grand-Am driver killed

The Grand-Am family suffered a tragic loss on Thursday when Carol Campbell Tremblay was involved in a fatal traffic accident in South Florida, not far from her home in Coral Springs.

Carol was the devoted wife of Grand-Am Rolex Series driver Sylvain Tremblay. She was the first investor in SpeedSource, and went on to be the office manager, and biggest supporter of her husband's dream of racing. She loved going to the races with her sons as a team, and a family.

Carol, 44, was born in Johnson City, N.Y. on March 10, 1964, the youngest of three sisters. She graduated from James Madison University with a BA in English. On December 7, 1996, she married the love of her life, Sylvain Tremblay.

She was a loving mother whose presence was an immeasurable light, always positive and filled with joy. The light of her life was her two boys Daniel and Alec. Carol loved to donate her time, and was a very active and supportive member of the PTA at Country Hills Elementary school in Coral Springs, Fla.

She is survived by two sons, Daniel Colin Tremblay, 9, Alec Benjamin Tremblay, 6, and her husband, all of Coral Springs; her two sisters Catherine Stine of Seattle, Connie Campbell of Arlington, Va., her mother Polly M. Harris of Fairfax, Va., and her father L. Reginald Campbell of Manassas, Va.

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2008 from 5-7 p.m. at the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach, Fla. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Carol Tremblay Children Trust Fund.
