Carole Louise (Dembicki) Kemnitz

Carole Louise (Dembicki) Kemnitz passed peacefully in her sleep at her home in Fairview Wy, on the morning of March 2nd, 2022. Carole is preceded in death by her mother Phyllis, her father Victor, brother Leonard, and daughter Kathleen. Carole is remembered by her husband Jim Kemnitz, sisters Lorraine Flynn and Pauline Dembicki, daughters: Deby Miller and Victoria Gail, grandchildren Justin, Amber, Nichole, Jessica, Ashley, Megan, and James, and six great-grandchildren.

Carole was born to a small family in Chicago, IL on August 3, 1944, and graduated from Schurz High School in 1961. Not long after, Carole met and married Jim.  They chose to raise their three daughters (Deborah, Victoria, and Kathleen) in Southern California. After many happy years living, working, and playing in Southern California, Jim and Carole chose to retire to wonderful Wyoming where they lived next door to their daughter Deby. Carole and Jim spent the next decades playing with their grandchildren and watching them grow. Carole took as many opportunities as she could to teach her grandchildren and great-grandchildren everything and anything she could. From how to cook, quilt, sew, bake, and drive. Carole’s drivers’ education course was a source of great pride for Carole because she was the one who taught all the grandchildren and nephews how to drive. The kids remember their walks to east gate park then to the library and then to get ice cream. Going to the beach in California will always be their cherished memories. When Carole wasn’t making the kids do jumping jacks to remember their spelling words, she spent her time sewing, quilting, reading, and making stained glass windows.

Instead of a traditional funeral, Carole’s family is instead choosing to hold a celebration of life party this coming summer. The date will be announced in the future and those who wish to attend will be notified.  Carole will be greatly missed by friends and family, forever.
