Carolyn was very involved in her community. She was a Sunday school teacher, Girl Scout leader and was a member of the Legion Auxiliary for many years, working the booth at the Cobb Corn Boil until she was well into her 80's. She was a passionate gardener and loved watching the birds. She also enjoyed golfing, quilting, traveling with friends and family as well as attending the local Red Hat gatherings. An avid sports fan, her favorite teams were of course, the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers and Wisconsin Badgers. Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Together she and Albert raised four children, Eric (Kelly) of Cobb, Denise (Wayne) Tillotson of Belmont, Rita (Mark) Weigel of Belmont and Janette (Hal Carter) Spieldenner of Gansevoort, NY.

She was preceded in death by her parents, in-laws James and Elsie Thomas, husband Albert, brothers: Richard (Delores) and Norman, sisters: Mildred (Bill) Bowan and Elaine Nagel, and sister-in-law Angela Thomas.

Carolyn is survived by her children, grandchildren: Matt (Lexi) and Miles Weigel, Shane (Brooke Halback) and Zach (Melissa) Thomas, Erin (Rich) Heim, Erika (Ronnie) McMurry, and Kyle Tillotson, great-grandchildren: Kohen, Zade, Witten, Lacy and Camden; brother Everett (Pat), sister Evelyn (David) Wagner, sister-in-law June Nagel, and brother-in-law Everett Thomas, as well as many nieces and nephews.
