Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Carol S. Jenss, age 72, of Winneconne, passed away in the early hours of April 3, 2015, after a brief battle with cancer.
She was born in Oshkosh on September 2, 1942. Carol was a 1961 graduate of Omro High School.
Carol was employed at Wal-Mart as a sales associate for the past several years. She enjoyed work, so much so that she left early to get in a hand of cards with her other co-workers before her shift.
Carol had many things that she enjoyed doing from painting that she loved from a young age, spending time family, and doing word searches. One of her favorite things hands down was puzzles; any time she got a chance she was putting one together. Carol was always challenging herself by seeing how fast she could put one together. Her family never had to ask what to get her because the answer was always the same, a new puzzle. Even up until the very end she was putting them together.
Another one of her passions was playing cards; it didn't matter if it was rummy or UNO even Kings Corner. She was determined to play and beat anyone who wanted to play her. Gambling was something she enjoyed also, usually walking in with $20 and coming out with a lot more than that.
Carol is survived by her three sons, Malcolm (Tammy) Davis, Richard Davis, Dean (Vicky) Jenss; two sisters and two brothers, Nancy (Don) Rumlow, Judy (Dale) Butt, Michael (Rita) Koch, Terry (Sandy) Koch; grandchildren, Malcolm, Carly, Porter, Ricky (Becky), Justin, Ben, Alex, Amanda, Gena (Jeff), Adam (Sarah), Katie (Billy), and Cody; great-grandchildren, Austin, Kendra, Sierra, Zoey, McKenna, Aidyn, Raigyn, Izzy, Raina, Bradley, Zach, and Bear.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Rose Koch and Albert Gollnick; step-father, Milton Koch; and her special friend, Marty Coughlin.
We would like to give a special thank you to Patty from Wal-Mart and to all her wonderful co-workers from Wal-Mart. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Dr. Virani and the staff at the Vince Lombardi Center, Dr. Wallace, and Aurora Hospice (Amanda and Ashley) you all have been wonderful, helpful, patient, caring, and kind to Carol and us as a family.
Per Carol's request there will be no funeral service.
Join us in a Celebration of Life. Family and friends are welcome to gather on Saturday, April 11 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at The Village Pub 235 W. Main St. Winneconne.

Greetings Peterson Family ~ Many fond memories of Mrs. Peterson and the support she gave her children/family as the students participated in our youth programs and The Spirit Singers. I enjoyed visits to the house and making a few trips with her to the Salvatorian MIssions in New Holstein. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you all the best as you go through this difficult time. You have many positive memories to treasure :). Blessings, Gary. 1819 North Superior Street, Appleton, WI, 54911.

Dear Family, your mother and I had many good times together when we were young and took our first trip out West together the year we were 21. I was with her the day she met Roy. She was a good person and always thought of others. She loved music and taught it well.

Your mom had a great smile and I remember her great laugh!
So generous with her time and talent. I mostly remember her in her knit cap at church! We spent many good times together when we were young. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family.
