Carol Pivarunas Wilson

Carol Frances (Pivarunas) Wilson, age 70, of Greeley, Colorado passed away on Thursday, May 15, 2025. She was born on January 8, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois to Albin and Marion (Bartik) Pivarunas. She moved to Colorado in 1974 to attend the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Carol earned her bachelor's degree in psychology, and went on to have a career as a planner in metrology services at Eastman Kodak, and later Carestream for close to 40 years. Coordinating the workload of her mostly male counterparts she was affectionately nicknamed 'The Whip'.

It was at UNC where she met Kim Wilson, and they were married on June 26, 1982. During Carol and Kim's 43 year marriage, they enjoyed concerts, plays and traveling on several cruises together. Carol loved to swim and snorkel, and her trip to Tahiti was a highlight of their travels. She was very passionate about gardening, and enjoyed being in her yard as much as possible. She was always quite active, and enjoyed doing aerobics for many years, as well.

Carol will be greatly missed by so many people, including her husband, Kim Wilson; sister Nancy Florquin; brother, Bruce Pivarunas (Janet); and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Albin and Marion Pivarunas, and sister, Joyce Sineni.

There will be a gathering to honor Carol's life, and details will be forthcoming.
