As a nurturing wife and mother she dedicated her life to her family. She was an active and faithful member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and their Altar and Rosary Society, New Germany. To her, baking was an art form. She was known for her delicate and delicious pie crust and made the most wonderful apple pie. Caroline enjoyed cooking and catering at New Germany Grove Hall for over 50 years, where she served countless meals for church picnics, fish fries, banquets and weddings. She was an avid Jeff Gordon fan and loved watching the Steelers. She shared many life lessons simply by example and instilled in us that faith in the Lord is the best foundation you can have, and being happy and having love fill your heart is what truly matters. Our lives have been truly blessed because of her.
