PAID PRINTED OBITUARIES

Carolyn Irene Pillette
October 27, 1963 ~ December 12, 2018

Carolyn Irene Pillette — A much loved daughter, sister, aunt, partner, and friend — passed away peacefully on December 12, 2018, at the age of 55. She had bravely confronted and fought cancer and now rests pain free with her dad and mom, Jim and Dorothy.

Carolyn was born on October 27, 1963, in Spokane, Washington, and resided in Ketchikan, Alaska, with her partner, Colleen Coggins, for the past 12 years. She graduated from Camas High School in 1982 and subsequently earned her certification in Phlebotomy.

Carolyn was a born nurturer which started during high school as her being a lifeguard at the Camas Community Pool, then as a full-time nanny in Trenton, New Jersey, for two doctors and their two children, she then was a certified phlebotomist at The Vancouver Clinic, and eventually caregiver for her mother who sadly passed away from her battle with COPD.

Carolyn loved to laugh, have fun and make people smile. She had a light-filled, wonderful soul and it showed through her daily endeavors. She is terribly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 26, at The Salud Event Center from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. (224 NE 3rd Avenue, in Camas).

Please come and visit with family, friends, and share stories.
