Caroline lived life to the fullest. She liked to travel, enjoyed friends and family, and never missed a party. She loved a nice home, fine jewelry, fancy clothes, a dry martini and her “five” husbands. She built a special bond with each of her five children. She loved to laugh. Although she wasn’t the best at repeating a good joke; she liked to hear them. She enjoyed golfing, the beach, boating, dancing and was in a bowling league with her good friends for many years. She was a fighter; always kept a positive attitude, even when faced with breast cancer twice.
Caroline learned early in life that you need to save money for a rainy day. As she grew up during hard times, she along with her first husband (father of her five children) had investment properties and built and designed many beautiful homes. She continued to save so she could enjoy all the things that were important to her. Caroline always said to enjoy life, but always within your means.
