Carol Ann Sachs

Carol Ann Chinnock Sachs went home to the Lord on April 6, 2024. She was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, to Helen Bender Chinnock and Wilson Redner Chinnock in 1935. Her father worked as a salesman, so they lived in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Indiana and Ohio before settling in the Philadelphia area. Carol worked for the Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia, and loved to sing and dance in her leisure time. It was at a dance that she met the love of her life, Clifford William Sachs, Sr. They were married in 1957, and had a son and a daughter while living in the Philadelphia area. Cliff and Carol moved to Fort Washington in 1970. Carol got a job with a pharmaceutical marketing survey company, through which she made several wonderful friendships. On November 17, 1986, Cliff was called home to be with Jesus. Throughout her life her strength and greatest passion was to serve and love the Lord. It was her faith in God’s goodness that brought her through her greatest earthly loss. She loved and served her church at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, and would re-iterate how much she loved that church and its people during her final days. After she moved to Delaware in 2014, God blessed her once again with a church that loved and cared for her at Crossroads Presbyterian Church in Middletown, DE. Reading Scripture, singing hymns, loving her family and enjoying her dogs were some of her greatest comforts when she became more housebound. Carol is survived by her son, Dr. Clifford William Sachs, Jr. (Betsy); her daughter, Susan Kae Adams (Chris); her grandchildren: Christopher Adams (Erica), Paul Adams (Marissa), Katy Sachs, Susan Sachs, and Christy Sachs; six great-grandchildren: Harper, Carson, Hayley, Harley, Carter and Hudson. In addition to her beloved husband, Clifford W. Sachs Sr., Carol was preceded in death by her mother, Helen Chinnock; her father, Wilson Chinnock; and her sister, Sharon Rae Pribish. Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation on Saturday, April 13 from 10-11 AM at the Crossroads Presbyterian Church, 627 Vance Neck Road, Middletown, DE 19709. A service in celebration of Carol’s life will follow at 11 AM. Burial will be private.
