Lois Carolyn Burgermaster age 79 of Wayne, formerly of Wyckoff, died peacefully on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 with the comfort of her husband by her side.
She was born L. Carolyn Whitmore in Dayton, OH and attended high school in Centerville, OH. She lived in Wisconsin, Naperville, IL and Wyckoff, NJ before moving to Wayne, NJ twenty-three years ago.
Carolyn graduated from Ramapo College, Mahwah, NJ with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology with the Class of 1984.
Her career was varied. She was a stay-at-home mom who attended Madison Business College and then worked for North Central College in Naperville, IL. She was a legal secretary for Sullivan and Sullivan Law Firm in Ridgewood and an Executive Secretary for the Lummus Corporation, Bloomfield, NJ. She was a Realtor for Caldwell Banker, Wyckoff, NJ. Most recently, she was an award-winning artist working at home in Wayne.
Carolyn is best described as a reserved, loving person with a terrific sense of humor. And her family remembers her as a talented, creative craftsperson and gardener.
She met her second husband after filling out the inside of a matchbook cover - the predecessor to dating websites. Their first date was to Maggie’s Dockside, Oakland, NJ and they married on October 14, 1987 at the Wayne Town Hall, Wayne, NJ by Judge Murner and have enjoyed twenty-three years of caring and devoted marriage.
Carolyn was the devoted wife of William Burgermaster of Wayne; loving mother of Paul Kershner of Tidioute, PA, Gail Kershner of New York, NY, Dawn Kershner and her husband, Tim Ryan, of Glen Ellyn, IL, and Robin and her husband, Louie Schoenburg of Sycamore, IL; caring grandmother of Patrick and Daniel Ryan; Rachel, Alan, Leah, and William Schoenburg, sister of the late L.
