Carrol M. (Lechleitner) Litwin

Surrounded by her loving family, Carrol M. Litwin, age 71, passed away on Sunday, September 14, 2014, at her residence.   Carrol was born in Enumclaw, WA, on December 24, 1942, daughter of the late Steve and Isabelle (Nee: Lemburg) Lechleitner.

Following her high school graduation in 1960 in Gilman, WI, Carrol moved to Racine. She later met the love of her life, James Litwin, and on December 6, 1969, at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Gilman, WI, they were united in marriage. She retired from Moxness Products after a twenty-year plus career in sales and customer service. She was a longtime member of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church. Carrol was blessed with a lung transplant in 2005 after several years of difficult lung problems. More than life’s material possessions, Carrol loved and treasured her time spent with her family and friends. She will be deeply missed.
