Obituary for Carolyn S. Schilling

Carolyn S.  Schilling
Carolyn Ann (Swain) Schilling passed away Saturday, November 28, 2015 at age 87 with her loving family by her side. She was born on March 13, 1928, to her late parents Enoch Clifford Swain and Marjorie Beardsley Swain.

Carol grew up in Buffalo, N.Y. and graduated from Bennett High School. She then moved to New York City where she worked for the FBI. Carol was a loving wife and mother devoted and dedicated to her husband, children and grandchildren. She was a founding member of Saint David’s Episcopal Church in Dewitt. She enjoyed reading, fine arts, classical music, Broadway musicals, and sang in a variety of Choral Groups including St. David’s Choir (38 years) and the Harmonets. Carol’s lifelong enjoyment and love of drawing and watercoloring has left her family surrounded by numerous artworks reflecting her creative energies!

Carol was a long time member of the Home Bureau Women’s Group whose members brought her great happiness, love and camaraderie. She traveled extensively with her husband in Europe and the Far East where she lived in Shenzhen, China, for 5 years in the 1990’s.

Carol is survived by her husband, Edmund Franklin Schilling whom she married on May 12, 1956, and her four children: Edmund F. Schilling, Jr., David R. Schilling, Carla B. Schilling and Laura J. Schilling.

Carol was extremely proud of her four grandchildren: Kyle T. Schilling, Makaily A. Courtwright, Jasper Z. Schilling and Benjamin M. Courtwright. Carol is also survived by her brother David L. Swain of Malibu, California.

Carol will be missed and her memory remain in our hearts forever! Thank you for all the wonderful gifts you gave us Mom! Bless your heart!
