"Aunt Caroline" was very dear to me as a child. She was my godmother and faithfully sent me cards and trinkets every birthday and Christmas. I stayed with her for a week or two one summer. She was a marvelous artist and a delightful person. Sadly, when I last saw her, her memory was gone. The world is a poorer place because she is no longer delighting those around her with her creativity. - Linda (Luckstead) Benskin
Aunt Caroline---I was so blessed to spend time during my childhood with her on the farm. She always made me feel so special . She taught me so much--gave so much--cherished memories that I will never forget. My two brothers and I shared chicken pox together. Aunt Caroline made a small mailbox--everyday we looked forward to a new letter . She used to pack a lunch and the two of us went on a picnic---somewhere out in the field--she told me stories and and together we admired the birds and flowers and nature which was all around us. She taught me that it is in the simple things in life that give us the most joy---taught me to make a pie---let us spend endless hours in the hay mound --swinging from the rafters and falling into the hay. She always saw the good in people, was kind, and patient. Her poetry and art work always portrayed the goodness from within her. I can only imagine the open arms of Jesus and her family welcoming her to her new home in Heaven. I would like to extend my deepest, heart-felt condolences to her family. Remember it is never a "goodbye--but a see ya later". Sending prayers of comfort . Linda White (Edwin's daughter)
Dear Loren, Lon, Dean and Dwight and Families
As I read this obituary about your Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma, I am reminded of Caroline of a great neighbor and friend to my Mom Frances Hugunin. My memories of seeing her painting and she even wrote about my Dad, Carroll. I would always go over next door and have a cup of tea and conversation. My Mom and Caroline and shared laughter and even tears. She also had a great faith, if my Mom was feeling down, Caroline was there.
See you on Thursday for visitation and funeral. Love You All

My dear Aunt Caroline. Such a sweet, beautiful lady with an angelic soul. Her and I shared a deep passion, and compassion for animals, of all kinds. I shared different books and stories with her, and she with me, always about animals. One time I gifted her with a pair of resin birds that she set on her dining table. She wrote me a letter, and said, “every time I walk past the dining room, I want to throw them a handful of bird seeds”. She made me a little book about one of our cats, complete with some of her illustrations of course. I’ve missed her in recent years. I will forever miss her now. Heaven definitely gained a special soul. Aunt Caroline, I’ll see you again someday. Maybe we can help take care of God’s animal kingdom. 💕🐾🕊️️
