Caroline Rita Passmore

Caroline Rita Passmore, 59, of Lehigh Acres, Florida, passed away on June 24, 2026. Born on January 13, 1967, in Los Angeles, California. Caroline lived a life defined by gentle kindness, unwavering love, and a quiet strength that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Caroline was a woman of remarkable determination and intellect. She earned her MBA with honors from Rasmussen College, a testament to her dedication and drive. She channeled that ambition into entrepreneurship, founding CRP Specialists and building a business that reflected her commitment to excellence and service. Her professional reach extended into the broader community through her active involvement with the Chamber of Commerce and various networking groups, where she forged meaningful connections and contributed to the growth of those around her.

Yet for all her professional accomplishments, Caroline’s greatest devotion was always to her family. Her marriage to Chris Passmore was the cornerstone of her life, a partnership built on deep and enduring love. She was a proud and nurturing mother who celebrated every milestone her children achieved. Among her most treasured moments was watching her son graduate from the University of Central Florida, begin his career, and purchase his first home. Caroline possessed a remarkable willingness to help others, even when doing so came at personal cost. Her generosity was not performative but deeply genuine, flowing naturally from a heart that always made room for others.

Caroline is survived by her beloved husband, Chris Passmore; her son, Ronald Hanifen; her daughter, Ashley Passmore; her son, Chris W. Passmore; her three grandchildren, Junior, Randi, and Adelaide; her brother, Martin; her sister, Helene; her sister, Sharon; her brother, Jeffrey; her best friend, Laurie Farina; and loving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, John Gobeil, and mother, Jacqueline Gobeil.

May Caroline find eternal peace in the arms of the Lord she faithfully loved, and may her family find comfort in the promise of reunion through God’s grace.

In the words of her devoted husband:

“Sweet Caroline,” the perfect song for the Angel I called Wife. She was my Sunrise and now will be my Sunset. My forever she is and will remain until that time I can see her again in our next life.
