Funeral Director

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.
