They enjoyed many adventures traveling and camping with the children and friends including Walt Disney World and Turtle Lake. Their adventures finally led to establishing a new home in California in 1984. Caroline proudly worked as a nurse in Chicago. Once in California she became a manicurist. Though she enjoyed her careers, her priority was always Mike and the kids and later the grandkids. She loved playing cards, cooking, gardening and at times enjoyed scrapbooking and ceramics. Caroline was a joy to be friends with, fun to be around and a constant source of laughter. She shared her wisdom freely and she loved deeply. Those around her knew she loved them, she made sure to tell you and show you. She was truly loved by her family and friends. She will be miss beyond measure… Service Thomas Miller Mortuary 1118 East Sixth Street Corona, CA 92879 (951) 737-3244 | Tuesday 3/27, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
