A kinder more giving heart you will never find; she was very generous. She volunteered countless hours with the Beaver Dam Community Hospital Auxiliary. She enjoyed gardening and loved to share her produce with others. Caryl was happiest in the kitchen and if you were sick or had problems, she would bring food to help soothe you. She was an avid Cubs fan since going to Chicago on her honeymoon. She also enjoyed following the Packers and the Badgers. Caryl was a member of St. Katharine Drexel Parish and had been active with the Catholic Women.
