Caroline Mary Gorman

Caroline M. (Dwyer) Gorman, age 60, of Pembroke and former longtime resident of Scituate passed away on April 18, 2017 after a recent rapid decline in health following a courageous, six year battle with cancer. She was the beloved wife of Christopher J. Gorman with whom she shared nearly 21 years of marriage.

Caroline was the devoted mother of Holly Fassnacht of Weymouth and Stephanie Binkley and her husband Jared of Jacksonville, FL. She was the cherished Nunnie and Nana Gorman to Hailey, Cameron and Brendan. Dear daughter of the late Gerard and Annette (Drew) Dwyer. Loving sister of Judith Ferrera of Mansfield, Charlotte Doherty of Scituate, Patricia Sunnerberg and her husband Stephen of Scituate, and Maureen Ellis and her husband Randall of St. Augustine, FL. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.

Caroline was employed for many years as a server at the Flounder Inn Restaurant in Scituate Harbor and later worked as a home health aide. Her care and compassion was most evident in her great love for animals, particularly 3 racing greyhounds that she handpicked from Raynham Taunton Greyhound Park and cared for with admirable devotion.
