Her annual "Mickiewicz Christmas Gatherings" and family trips to Calumet for New Year's Eve were treasured. Carolyn is predeceased by her beloved husband John and her dear daughter Ann.

  1. Jim, Kim & family~ We met your Mom long before we met any of you. The fun fact that we bought your childhood home from her will always bring a smile when I relate that story. My memory of her is from the closing ~ signing endless amounts of paperwork, around the table so many times. I was heartbroken at the audible sobs that I heard from Caroline as each paper was passed around. I felt so sad for her and could only imagine how hard it was to pass that house on to strangers after raising your amazing family there for so long. Fast forward to many years later when Kim & I became friends. Only then did we learn so much about the history, stories and bones of that house. We are forever grateful for that. And for our continued friendship. Blessings to you all as you move forward in your days without your sweet mom. Know that she is there in spirit always. Watching over you all. Much love, Denise, Mark & Max
