Caroline F. Carpenter Hirschmann Eby Ring, 76, of Patterson, La., formerly of Prospect, entered into rest peacefully on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2019.
Before relocating to Louisiana she was a proud and dedicated member of the United Methodist Church-Woodbury. She immensely enjoyed the gatherings and events held at the church. An avid reader, Caroline enjoyed reading and possibly had every book written by her favorite author, Danielle Steel. When not reading in her spare time, she’d could often be found watching television on the Hallmark Channel with her beloved cat, Bowser, sitting in her lap. A loving and caring individual, Caroline was the role model her family looked up to and the best mother her children could have ever possibly asked for. She will be sadly missed by her family and many friends but will remain forever in our hearts.
Those left to cherish Caroline’s beautiful memory are her son, Robert “Bob” Hirschmann; her daughter, Valerie Hirschmann; her siblings, David Carpenter, Lynn Westfield and Alan Carpenter; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by three husbands, one of which was the love of her life, Roy Eby; her son, Christopher Hirschmann; and her parents, Earl and Marge Carpenter.
A Funeral Service in Celebration of Caroline’s Life will be held on Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019 at 10 a.m. in the Chapel of The Miller-Ward Funeral Home, 260 Bank St. (Route 67 across from Klarides Village), Seymour, with the Rev. John Thomason, pastor of The United Methodist Church-Woodbury, officiating. Interment will follow in Pine Grove Cemetery, Ansonia. Friends and relatives may call on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019 from 5 to 8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Caroline’s memory to The Alzheimer’s Association, CT-Chapter, through the funeral home.
