Carol Ann Best-Klewin,
(nee Scholbe)
Carol, age 95 years passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 18th, 2023. Carol is survived by her sons, Keith (Pam), Michael (Donna), daughters Teri Kramer (Dennis) and Christine Verbanac, grandchildren, Ryan (Jennifer), Matthew (Linda), Erin Cintron (Brandon), Justin, Alex (Raeanna), Brittany Sugden (Adam), Sebastian and great grandchildren, Austin, Ava and Ryah. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Edward and her son Jack. Carol was a lifelong member of Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church, member of Suburban Women’s Club of Wauwatosa, graduate of Washington High School, and attended the University of WI - Madison. But the accomplishment that she was most proud of (and there were many) was single-handedly raising five wonderful children.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 28th, 2023, at WAUWATOSA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 2366 N. 80th Street Wauwatosa from 10:30AM until the Celebration of Life Service at 12:00 noon, with a light luncheon to follow in the lower level of the church.
In lieu of flowers please make a memorial contribution to Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church, an organization near and dear to our mother’s heart!
Carol had a passion for life and loved so many activities. She loved gardening, spending countless hours each spring beautifying the deck of her condo with many pots of Wave Petunias and more. She had a love of music and the arts - loved the piano and encouraged her talented son Jack to make an impact on the arts in New York City. Carol was an avid bridge player and enjoyed hosting bridge club. In fact, she loved entertaining as well. She enjoyed swimming well into her 90s and she placed 1st in her age category in swimming for several years of participation in the Senior Olympics. She was a talented synchronized swimmer and performed in swimming shows during the WI State Fair as a teenager. She enjoyed traveling, dancing, was a “foodie”, loved her Wisconsin Old Fashioned, but it was the family get togethers that made her the happiest. God bless her and keep her. She was truly the Best! https://www.churchandchapel.com/obituaries/Carol-Ann-Klewin?obId=29642684
