Carole Ann Latour (nee Budinich) age 70 of Brick, formerly of Wayne, died Sunday, January 27, 2008 at the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood with her daughter Beth by her side.
She was born in Jersey City, raised in North Bergen having lived in Wayne for twenty-five years before moving to Brick 12 years ago.
Carole was a jeweler's assistant in the New York City "Diamond District" for several years before dedicating her time to raising her family.
She was a former parishioner of Our Lady of the Valley RC Church, Wayne and more recently a parishioner of Visitation RC Church, Brick.
Carole and John had a "storybook marriage" having met on a blind date. Described by her as "love at first sight", she and John were married in 1959 and shared thirty-five wonderful years before John passed away in 1994. We know that she is with him now as they were always meant to be.
She is the beloved mother of John A. Latour and his wife Denise of Elwood City, PA, Elizabeth Ann Collins and her husband Stephen of Wayne, Michael L. Latour and his wife Christine of Ramsey and Joseph M. Latour and his wife Rosaria of Cumming, GA, the late Laura Latour who passed away when she was two and a half years old and the late James Latour who was four months old at the time of his passing.
Carole was blessed with and beloved by her eleven grandchildren. Jenna, John and Anthony Latour, Keith and Juliana Romanski, Michael and Alexander Latour, Joseph, Giovanna, Jackie and Juliette Latour.
Family and friends remember their home as the gathering place for any special occasion. From ritual Sunday dinners with her children and the growing crop of grandchildren, to summer barbeques and New Year's Eve galas, Carole, with her husband John, together made all who came to visit feel welcome and at home.
Her love of children was boundless. After having raised her clan, Carole and John became foster parents to children in need of a warm, loving home. Edith, Brenda and Gilly Lake came to live with them in 1989 and remained for many years as part of the growing family. Their home was, at times, more like a daycare center, filled with the love of their foster kids and visiting grandchildren, cribs and high chairs and baby toys always underfoot.
Those who knew her remember fondly her sense of humor. At times, mischievous and cunning, her sharp wit and buoyant personality never dimmed, even in times of difficulty and sadness.
Her children offer a very special message of gratitude to the nursing staff at Ocean Medical Center, particularly Michelle, Connie and Caroline, who treated Carole with such kindness and compassion, stepping in as surrogate mothers to her children during her last days. And to the dedicated nurses at Valley Hospital who helped them through the process of letting her go.
