Caroline was a loving wife and mother. She enjoyed watching children grow and cared for many children just as lovingly as she did her own children. Her hobbies included: caring for her pets including squirrels and birds, cross stitch, crocheting, reading, fishing and putting puzzles together. Her hugs were healing. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.
Her survivors include, her loving husband of 51 years, Robert L. Wandel, and her two children, Robert D. Wandel and Jennifer Louise Walters. Other survivors include Patricia Wandel/daughter-in-law, Michael Paul Daughtry/grandson, Katy Louise Walters/granddaughter, and Guinevere Purity Birkitt/great-granddaughter, Josiah Ash Daughtry / great-grandson and two brothers, Chuck Senkus and Robert Senkus.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her name to Lawrence Bible Church, 505 Monterey Way, Lawrence, KS 66049 or The Lawrence Human Society to care for animals that she loved so much, 1805 E. 19th Street, Lawrence, KS 66046 and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary.
My heart goes out to Jennifer, Katy, and the rest of the Wandel family. I know you will miss Carol so much.
Moms are important and special people. I am sorry for the loss of such a valuable person in your life. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
Condolences to Caroline’s family. I always loved Caroline’s laugh and smile. She was a special lady.
Carol was my first friend when I moved to Lawrence. I will always remember her laugh and her hugs, her love for her pets and her love for her family. Bob, Jennifer and Robert–my deepest condolences to you and your family. Carol was definitely one of a kind. She will be greatly missed.
Wishing there were words of comfort that I could send to make this all less painful, but loss is profound and deep and words cannot full that void. So I send my love and support. Please know that I am here for you, Jen and Katy.
My condolences and my prayers to the family of Carol. I will always remember her from high school , classmate Mary Ann Rustay O’Malley , Nanticoke ’64
