Carole was born March 8, 1930 in Parma, OH, the youngest of two children (and only daughter) to Fred and Ada Geiss. She attended Parma Schaaff High School and went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in education from Miami University (Ohio). Following graduation in 1952, Carole married the love of her life, Fredrick “Rick” Reinert, Jr, while he was art director for Storer Broadcasting in Cleveland. They celebrated 66 wonderful years of marriage before Rick’s passing in November 2018.
After several years as a teacher, Carole devoted herself to raising her two children, Tod and Dianne. She later joined Rick as Office Manager for Rick Reinert Pictures (the second company he founded), where she worked from 1988-2000.
Carole loved spending time with family and friends, sailing around Westlake, and traveling the world. She is survived by son Tod (Liz) of Annandale, VA, daughter Dianne of Avon, OH, and grandchildren, Corinne and Madeline Reinert. Carole gave so much throughout a life well-lived. We will miss her dearly, but are consoled by the fact that Rick and Carole are together again.
