Carolyn Marie Knecht's Obituary
Carolyn Marie Knecht
RACINE—Carolyn Marie Knecht, 60, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, August 18, 2015 at Wheaton Franciscan All Saints Hospital.
Carolyn was born on April 25, 1955 to Chester and Doris (nee: Larson) Knecht. She worked for many years as a factory worker at Ametek.
Carolyn was a devout member of Evangelical United Methodist in Racine. She loved collecting cow memorabilia and enjoyed travelling. She visited every state except for Hawaii because there was no bridge and she would not fly. Carolyn liked reading, telling jokes, and playing cards and other games. Most of all Carolyn loved her family.
Carolyn will be dearly missed by her sisters and brother, Sharon (Ed) Trudeau, Al (Brenda) Knecht, and Donna Hort; sister-in-law, Jan Knecht; and many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, Chester and Doris; and two brothers, Ed and Bill Knecht.
Funeral services for Carolyn will be held on Friday, August 21, 2015 at Evangelical United Methodist Church, 212 11th St, at 4:00 PM with Pastor John Fleming officiating. Relatives and friends may meet with the family from 2:00 PM until the time of service at 4:00 PM. Interment will follow on Monday, August 24, 2015 at 1:00 PM at Gilmanton Cemetery, Wisconsin 88, Mondovi, WI. Memorials in Carolyn’s honor may be directed to her family.
