In Loving Memory of Caroline Rae Egmose
1988 – 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Caroline, who left us at the early age of 36. Caroline’s life, though tragically cut short, was filled with love, kindness, and a spirit that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Caroline was a beacon of light in every room she entered. Her radiant smile and infectious laugh could lift spirits and bring joy even on the darkest days. She had a deep love for music and comedy, and her distinctive laugh—so full of life—was often heard echoing through gatherings, a sound that will be dearly missed.
A woman of remarkable dedication, Caroline approached every task with unmatched work ethic and determination. She never shied away from a challenge, often embracing the most difficult jobs with a sense of purpose and pride. Her resilience and drive inspired those around her to strive for their best.
In her personal life Caroline had a deep love for art. She was a talented artist who found joy and expression through painting and drawing. Caroline’s artwork was a reflection of her vibrant spirit and creativity, and she often shared her pieces with family and friends. Her passion for art brought her peace and fulfillment and she inspired others with her talent and dedication.
Above all, Caroline was a caring soul; compassionate, thoughtful, and generous. She gave freely of her time and heart, always ready to support a friend or lend a helping hand. She leaves behind a community of family, friends, and loved ones who will forever cherish her memory and the lasting mark she left on their lives. Caroline’s light will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter, Jacqueline Egmose; her fiancé, Andrew Drasen; her mother, Ruth Egmose; her brother Jake (Samantha) Egmose, sister Joanne (Mike) Doelger; her grandmother, Gladys Penczykowski; her nieces Charlotte and Sydney Egmose, nephew Otis Doelger; her uncle and aunts, James (Patti La Cross) Penczykowski, Janice (Rick) Gilfert, Alice (Tim) Tarjan; her canine companion, Eeva “Diva”; as well as many cousins and dear friends.
Caroline was preceded in death by her father, Steven Egmose; her grandparents, Peter and Mabel Egmose, Stanley Penczykowski; her aunt and uncle, Mary and Greg Frank; and her cousin, Peter Frank.

Andrew Drasen says
She was my world. My soul mate, my better half. She will be missed something fierce. The way she shed light was unmatched. I think about her mannerisms, her little sayings and idiosyncrasies, and get happy and sad at the same time. Life will not be the same without her. I love you Dove.
