She was preceded in death by her brother Ronald Willuweit. Carolyn was very social and she and Steve had many dear friends. She loved living in Benicia and the Bay Area with the love of her life, Steve. Carolyn enjoyed retail therapy, traveling, wine tasting, weekend retreats with her EAP Women’s Group, theatre and pinochle with Steve and their friends of 43 years, Mike & Shelly. The ladies usually won. Carolyn will always be remembered for being a very caring, generous, compassionate and fun-loving person who truly enjoyed being with friends and family. She was never the first to arrive, but always the last to leave. She loved living, valued relationships more than anything else and will always be missed! In lieu of flowers the family prefers donations in her name be made to Child Fund International.
