CAROLE EMERICK

Carole Marie Emerick passed away Tuesday, October 8,2019, in her home in Lancaster,
California. She was 81 years old. Born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1939,
the daughter of Loretta and Lloyd Emerick and sister of Joanne and Don. She was the middle
child, quiet and shy, always avoiding the camera. Carole was a loving soul and friendly to all.

Carole's early years were mostly spent growing up with her sister, Joanne, in Irwin, Pennsyl-
vania. She attended elementary school in Irwin and continued her education in Los Angeles,
California. While Carole was growing up the family made several moves to Los Angeles and
back to Irwin. Finally settling in Los Angeles in the early fifties. By this time Carole was
attending John Muir junior high and went on to graduate from Manual Arts high school in Los
Angeles.

Carole was a loving daughter, sister, cousin, aunt and friend. Her devotion to the Catholic
religion was very strong. At one point in her life she was considering to dedicate her life to God
by joining a convent. Her rosary was always close at hand to say a quick decade or two or even
all five no matter where ever she was. Religion was her private sanctuary from the world.

The majority of Carole's life was being a family caregiver. First to help her mom when her dad
was bed ridden from a stroke and then providing total care for her mom. Strong in times of need,
steadfast and understanding. An avid reader of spiritual and current materials. She was a woman
of strong religious beliefs and convictions, loyal and loving to family and friends. Carole lived her
later years as she wanted, never wanting to be a burden to anyone. She was one of a kind and
will be missed but will live on in our hearts and memories forever.
