BROOKFIELD (formerly of Racine) – Mrs. Carol L. Anderson, 86, passed away at Cecelia Place in Waukesha on December 21, 2024.

She was born in Markesan, WI on January 10, 1938, the daughter of the late Leo and Elda (nee Prochnow) Zanto.  She graduated from Markesan High School.

Carol was a member of Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Brookfield.  A lover of music, she enjoyed singing professionally in her early years while living in Racine.  In her later years she loved cheering for the Brewers and Packers and spending time at their second home on Loon Lake in Elcho, WI.  However, she was happiest in the company of her family.

In addition to her parents, Carol was preceded in death by her first husband, Andrew Cottone, her sister and brother-in-law, Joyce (Wes) Hahn; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Frances (Alex) Skover; and by her stepson, Scott Anderson.

Family and friends are invited to meet at New Life Lutheran Church – Somers Campus (1520 Green Bay Road, Kenosha, WI) on Friday, January 3, 2025, for a visitation from 10:00 am – 11:00 am.  A service honoring and celebrating her life will take place at 11:00 am.  A private interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery Mausoleum in Caledonia.  A memorial mass will also take place at St. Dominic Catholic Church (18255 W Capitol Drive, Brookfield, WI) on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.  Visitation is from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm.  The memorial mass will take place at 12:00 pm.

    So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Carol was a joy to be around. Have many fond memories of our Packer Football games on the road and our good times in the singles group and dances. I will cherish her friendship forever. May you find comfort in the good times you shared. God Bless.

We would like to personally thank Brian for what a warm, compassionate funeral you arranged. You always put our thoughts first and answered and responded to my many phone calls about everything. The artistry of the belongings of our son was amazing. Everything was so beautiful. So many people complimented on how the arrangement was set up by you. We as a family will never forget what you did for us in our time of need. Thank you very much Brian.
