Carol Lyn Waltman

Carol Lyn Waltman was born on January 21, 1953 in Aberdeen So. Dakota. She passed away on December 23, 2016 at the age of 63.

Carol Lyn is survived by and will be missed the most by her siblings, David (Cindy) of Casper WY, Steven (Gail) of Santee CA, Douglas (Lenora) of Casper WY, Mark (Tammy) of Milliken CO, Dennis (Barbara) of Waterford WI, Frank of Casper WY and Patti (Waltman) Burget, also of Casper WY.

Carol Lyn had the fortunate and joyous experience of being an Aunt and Great-Aunt to 12 nieces and nephews and 12 great nieces and nephews. She had a large extended family including many special uncles, aunts and cousins and her maternal grandmother, Ilene Weber, formerly Ilene Yeoman.
She is preceded in death by parents Michael H. Waltman and Betty Waltman (Elizabeth Mae Yeoman), formerly of Aberdeen South Dakota, a younger sister, Mary Ann and both of her paternal grandparents and maternal grandfather.

While living in North Platte for most of her life, she went to school at Madison Jr. High and then spent time attending the North Platte Opportunity Center and she belonged to St. Patricks Catholic Church. In 1982, she moved to Gering where she worked at the Bargain Bin Thrift Store and attended Christ the King Catholic Church.

Carol Lyn then moved to Casper in 2005 so that she would be close to her immediate family. She was a participant for many years with NOWCAP Services until November 2016 and from there she moved for a brief time to Garden Square Assisted Living Center.

Carol Lyn never met a stranger and she made friends easily and had the uncanny ability to never forget a name. She loved to be in the company of family the most and she always shined as a positive influence to everyone with all of her special ways. Carol Lyn loved to collect and take pictures, read and listen to polka music. Her favorite singer was Charley Pride. She really loved to watch vintage TV shows and movies. She possessed amazing skills at memorizing important dates, such as birthdays and wedding anniversaries of each member of her immediate and extended family. She enjoyed attending church at Our Lady of Fatima in Casper where the staff and church members offered her love and a sense of community. She especially enjoyed extended visits with Mark and Tammy. Carol's entire family felt so fortunate to have someone as special as her in their lives. She always knew she was surrounded by so much love and care from all of them. They will especially miss her extra positive attitude, laughter and fun loving conversations that they always had while in her company.

Carol Lyn's family would like to give a special thank you to all of the many caregivers and staff who took care of our sister during her lifetime.
