Carolyn Bogatay Redwood, 67, of German Village and formally of Manhattan, passed away on September 14, 2020 at OSU Wexner Medical Center. Born January 22, 1953 in Nutley, NJ, she was preceded in death by her parents Frank J. and Margaret (Jarvis) Bogatay, and her husband Bruce Allen Redwood. She is survived by her brother, Frank J. Bogatay, Jr., of Pennsylvania, as well as cousins, and beloved friends and neighbors. Carolyn received her RN certification from Beth Israel School of Nursing and then her BSN from Hunter College. It was while living in Lower Manhattan that she was introduced to Bruce Redwood by a classmate. She graduated college in May and married Bruce in December of 1974. Together, they moved to Columbus in 1984 due to a career opportunity for Bruce and soon bought a home in German Village. In 1990, they opened their own travel agency, Redwood Travel which Carolyn kept going, even after Bruce’s passing, well into the new millennium. Carolyn was generous of spirit, and of her time. She was loyal, honest, and had a volunteer’s heart, giving much of her time to her home parish of St. Mary’s. She was an avid traveler, reader, and a wonderful neighbor and friend.
