Caroline graduated from Lincoln
Community High School in 1977, Lincoln College in
1981 and Milliken University in 1984, but was
converted into an avid Northwestern University fan!
She held memberships in P.E.O., Zonta and the
Lincoln Emblem Club, was on the board of Lincoln
Community Theatre and WATCH at Holy Family, and was
a founding Friend of The Lincoln Heritage Museum at
Lincoln College.
Caroline worked in the copier industry for over
thirty years, finishing as a named account
representative for KMBS.
Caroline dearly loved her family, her friends, and
her church, and challenged all of us, by her
example, to give our all in whatever we did.
Memorials may be made in Caroline’s name to the Holy
Family Interior Renovation Fund or to the Lincoln
Heritage Museum at Lincoln College.
