December 9, 1934 - November 3, 2012
Age 77, passed away on November 3, 2012 in Frisco, TX. Born December 9, 1934 in New Orleans, LA to Joseph Marco Martinolich and Esther Louise (Lavene) Martinolich. She is survived by her four children: son, David Kent Pfahler, Jr. and his wife Gail of Bentonville, AR; son, Kenneth Alan Pfahler and his wife Robin of Georgetown, TX; daughter, Karen Anne (Pfahler) Christoffer and her husband Fred of Frisco, TX; son, Robert Gary Pfahler, Sr. also of Frisco, TX; 14 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren and many cousins.
Carole was preceded in death by her husband, Keith Alexander Allan of Carrollton, TX; father, Joseph Marco Martinolich of Covington, LA & mother, Esther Louise (Lavene) Martinolich of New Orleans, LA.
She was very outgoing and personable with past memberships in the IAC International Aerobatic Club, Garden Club in Grove Oklahoma and the Frisco Senior Center. Her hobbies included reading, crossword puzzles, gardening, cooking, sewing, community service work and collecting anything to do with monkeys. She was a long-time resident of Carrollton Texas but loved all her time spent on Monkey Island, OK when she lived there from 1995 to 2002. She also enjoyed good food, baking and socializing with her friends. She had a wonderful smile that could light up the room and warm your heart. She will be greatly missed by her friends and family. Carole will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband, Keith Alexander Allan. Graveside service at Sparkman Hillcrest on her birthday December 9, 2012 at 2:30 pm. One of Carole’s greatest joys was having her children together with her to celebrate her birthday.
