Carol White Dailey

Carol White Dailey, 77, passed away on Sunday, November 19, 2017. She was born in Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Washington D.C. in her early 20’s to work in downtown Washington, D.C. She worked for a number of companies in D.C. and Virginia throughout her career, but was most proud of her 10 years at AOL in the early days of the internet. She liked to say that she was “online before online was cool.”

Carol claimed she wasn’t much of a “joiner,” but her lifelong advocacy and philanthropy tells a different story. She was a staunch advocate for breast cancer research and awareness, and volunteered with a number of organizations throughout her life including the Loudoun Breast Health Network, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, the Loudoun County Democrats, the Obama/Biden Inaugural Committee, the Boulder Crest Retreat for disabled veterans and the Birthing Inn at Loudoun Hospital.

Although Carol spent her adult life in the D.C area, her love for the Pittsburgh Steelers never wavered. Just recently she visited her hometown after many years away and was so thrilled by the black and gold displays of team spirit around every corner.

Carol is preceded in death by her parents Dolly M. White and Lawrence E. White. She is survived by her children Carey Tarbell (Michael), Danny Torbett (Leslie) and Mark Torbett (Diana), her grandchildren Skyler, Cassidy and Hunter Torbett and John and Chloe Tarbell, her daughter-friend Trisha Staugler and her beloved “puppy-boy” Olie who is enjoying his new home with Carol’s daughter and family.

A celebration of the formidable life force known as Carol Dailey will be held at St. David’s Episcopal Church, 43600 Russell Branch Parkway, Ashburn, VA. on Saturday, December 2nd at 2:00 p.m. If you wish to make a donation in Carol’s name, please contact the Loudoun Breast Health Network at www.lbhn.org or by mail: P.O.
