Caroline Emery

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Caroline (Kryskow) Emery was born March 30, 1921, in Mundare, Alberta Canada and died on Sept. 28, 2015, at Meadowood Nursing Center in Clearlake after a long battle with dementia.

After attending the Manitoba Commercial College in Winnipeg, Canada, Caroline worked for the Canadian Pacific Railroad.

In 1946, she married Earnest who was a bush pilot in Alaska with the United States Army and moved to California.

While living in Southern California, she was active in Bluebirds, Cub Scouts, PTA, Precinct Worker, Mission Circle in her Catholic Church, and Toastmistress.

Along with Earnie, she began an infrared company in Ventura County, selling it after 25 years, and then moving to Lake County where they resided for over 20 years. Here she became a Master Gardener.

Both Earnest and Caroline enjoyed traveling and had circled the globe many times. They took great delight in entertaining at their ranch, El Rancho de Familia in Lower Lake.

She is predeceased by Earnest (husband) in 2010; her son, Lawrence (Deirdre) in 1995; a brother; and sister.

Caroline is survived by her daughter, Adele (William) Lambert of Houston, Texas; five grandchildren;  and seven great-grandchildren. She also will be missed by her two sisters, Chris and Louise, as well as many nieces, nephews, friends and caregivers in the Clearlake area.

An extra special thank you to Tom and Linda Moran who lovingly attended to Caroline in her last years. A huge thank you to Meadowood Nursing Center for their diligent care after, and to Tom and Tina Wasson, Tom and Martha O’Brien, Connie Roselander and Father James McSweeney for continually visiting her.

A funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Middletown at 1 p.m.
