Carol A. Golke, 80, passed away leaving behind a family who loved her dearly and a lifetime of memories that will forever be treasured in their hearts.
Although saying goodbye is never easy, those who knew and loved Carol can find comfort in the memories they shared, the love she gave, and the special place she will always hold in their lives. A life is not measured only by the years we spend on this earth, but by the love we give, the hearts we touch, and the memories we leave behind. Carol’s life will continue to be remembered through the family she cherished and the love that will never fade.
Carol leaves behind her loving son, Eric (Leslie); her bonus daughter, Susan (Mike); and her beloved grandchildren, Megan, Becca, Max, Allie, Nick, and Dylan, who will forever carry her memory in their hearts. She is also survived by her brother, Ed (Cindy), and sister in law, Sherri and many other family and friends who share in the memories and love of a life filled with family connections.
Though her family is heartbroken by her passing, there is comfort in imagining Carol being welcomed through the gates of heaven by her beloved daughter, Amy; her brother, Dave; her mother, Olive; and father, James Vernon. What a beautiful reunion that must be, as loved ones once separated by loss are brought together again.
May Carol rest peacefully in the arms of her heavenly family, reunited with those she loved and missed. May her family find strength in one another, comfort in their memories, and peace in knowing that love never truly says goodbye.
Forever loved, forever missed, and forever in our hearts. Until we meet again.
