Carole Jane Williams

Carole Jane Williams, age 83, passed away on May 15, 2016, at Fallbrook Skilled Nursing after a long illness. Having moved to Fallbrook in 1988 with her husband Ed, Carole was a long-time resident of the Rancho Monserate retirement community; she had previously resided in Orange County for many years.

Carole was born on September 22, 1932, to Jeanette Cunningham and John Burman. A California native, her formative years were spent in Central California and the Bay area. Carole attended San Rafael High School; after graduation, she married, started a family, and settled into a new home in Marin County. Carole eventually made her way to Southern California, where she remarried, added to her family, and pursued a career in the medical field. She met Ed Williams in 1968 and they married on March 5, 1970.

Carole loved to knit and was known for her 'indestructible' kitchen wash cloths and pot holders, and her hand-made sweaters and vests. She kept a storage box of her creations, in every color, to give as gifts to friends and family. Carole always took great care in her appearance and in keeping a beautiful home. She enjoyed dancing to the Oldies, sipping her Kona coffee in the morning, receiving Stargazer lilies each Mother's Day and occasionally indulging in a slice of lemon meringue pie or homemade oatmeal raisin cookie.

Carole and Ed spent many wonderful years camping with Huntington Beach Elks Lodge members and attending social events held by the Mystik Krewe of Komus. They loved to entertain their friends, and their backyard Hawaiian luau-style pool parties at their Huntington Beach home were legendary. Carole and Ed enjoyed taking cruises and 'hitting the road' in their Allegro motor home. They also enjoyed fixing up their house, being visited by family, and going to dinner shows and playing the slots at nearby casinos. Carole and Ed recently celebrated their 46th anniversary.

Carole leaves behind her devoted husband, Ed; sons Ronald and Gregory and their spouses; daughter Robyn; granddaughters Jacqueline, Mandy and Alison; great-granddaughters Paloma and Lucia. Carole was preceded in death by her brother, Richard Hannum and her son-in-law Phillip Torres.

Carole's family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to the staff and residents of Fallbrook Skilled Nursing, and to VITAS Hospice of San Diego. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Carole's memory to the Alzheimers Association San Diego Chapter or to VITAS Hospice of San Diego.
