Carolyn C. Zabokrtsky
Carolyn C. Zabokrtsky, 83, of Hiawatha, passed away on Saturday, August 14, 2021. Per Carolyn’s wishes no funeral service will be held.
Carolyn was born on December 18, 1937 in Chinook, MT; the daughter of James and Avis Carmichael. She worked at National Oats before moving on to a 28 year career with Quaker Oats, retiring in 2000.
Carolyn was an avid animal lover, taking in many strays over the years. She enjoyed playing the lottery, watching TV, fishing, and visiting with neighbors.
Carolyn is survived by her daughters, Brenda (Dennis) Shannon and Carla (Larry) Thurston; and grandson, Ian Shannon.
Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Stanton Carmichael, Gene Carmichael, and William Varner.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to her caregivers, daughter and son-in-law, Carla and Larry Thurston, friends Laura Knoff, Liz and Julie Briggman, the wonderful staff of Hospice of Mercy, especially Karen, Kelly, Kim, and Jesse, and Chaplain Joe Kane – all for the special care they provided Carolyn in her final years.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to any animal shelter of your choosing.
