Carol worked as a faithful employee for the State of Michigan for 43 years. She enjoyed taking walks, and had a soft spot for animals. She was a loving caretaker of her mother, and always put others before herself. She was a kind, thoughtful, and spiritual woman who forever believed in the power of light and love. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Carol is survived by her mother, Marguerite; her brothers, Mike (Connie) and Pat (Cathy); her sister, Marty (Marc Goldfarb), as well as many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Earnest A. Botke.
Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, September 11 at 6:00pm at Gorsline Runciman Funeral Home of DeWitt. Father Robert Irish of The Catholic Community of St. Jude in DeWitt will be officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. A reception with light refreshments will follow the 6:00pm service, and friends are invited to stay and share memories of Carol.
Memorial contributions may be made in Carol's honor to the Capital Area Humane Society.
