Obituary For Carol Sue Treptow

Carol Sue Treptow was born to Gale and Edna Martz on September 15, 1944. Carol was raised in Ottumwa, and graduated high school in 1963. She had many friends and family in that area that she loved very much. but she new her life would be completed out west. Carol has been with Scott since 1971, and was married to him in 1972. Carol has two children, Carri and Todd. She also has four grandchildren, Erik, Ty, Kaitlin, and Sarah. Carol lived with her Husband and raised the children in Auburn, Washington.

Carol has two sisters, Doris and Dixie, and three brothers, Bill, Gale, and Sam. Carol was loved by her husband, and family. We will miss her every day.

Carol enjoyed frequent talks with her sister Dixie on the phone, until Dixie passed away earlier in 2022. That took a very hard toll on her well being. I’m sure they’re catching up right now. Carol was a crafter for certain, she enjoyed crafts of almost any kind, she loved making cards for Christmas and birthdays, HSN was a special friend. Carol made and decorated cakes for many years and many occasions. she was a collector of buttons and beads and most everything else. Puzzles, painting, and small crafts were her last hobby’s. Carol was a very social person, she knew somebody everywhere we went. She loved doing anything with family, whenever possible. Sara and Kaitlin brought butterflies to be set free last month. It brought a smile and laugh for everyone. Joe and Sharon happened to be here at the same time. That visit and time was a very bright spot in our lives.

Carol passed away on July 10,2023 at the age of 78. She was baptized at the Christian Church in Auburn. We were married in Auburn, we bought our house in Auburn, and raised our family here, but Carol never forgot about, Ottumwa, Iowa.

There is no funeral, per our wishes. I am hoping this will serve as a memorial. Although you see an option to purchase flowers I am not interested in receiving them and ask that you share a favorite memory or photo of Carol for all to remember. Carol will be greatly missed by all.

    Aunt Carol was always the fun aunt! She had a great sense of humor and gave as good as she took. She and my mother, Dixie would spend hours on the phone talking. I remember telling mom that it was always easy talking to Carol on the phone, as you only had to say "hello" and she took it from there. My wife, Sharon and son, Tyler visited Carol, this spring. It is a great memory and a cherished one. Love to Scott, Carri and Todd. Your nephew and cousin, Joe Bertroche, Jr.

    I did not know Carol well, as she and Scott and family were already out west when I joined the family. However, I got to know her through the many stories that were retold over the years, bringing laughter and many smiles to everyone each time we reminisced. I do know she was well loved by everyone, and her company was greatly enjoyed. She will be missed, as her life certainly affected so many, but she will live on in the memories we hold of her. Our condolences to you Scott, and the kids as well. She was a peach of a gal! Love to you all from Iowa! Mindy and Spin

    Carol was the Funniest Woman I have ever known. Her Wit and Sense of Humor had me rolling on the floor so many times I can't count. Although we did not attend the same church I am sure she was a Great Blessing to those who did. Scott - Kristi and I grieve with you at her passing on and will be looking forward to seeing her again on the other side. - David Inabnit

    I love you more than you will ever know. I pray for God to comfort you and hold you together ….and me too. It’s funny how with those words, all the memories come flooding back….good memories, memories of love and support through the best and hardest times of my life. Precious memories of my sister and best friend and the love of my brothers life. She brought us together, she brought love and happiness with her. I know she is well and fine and warm and loved where she is… but we are missing her light and I feel sorry for us. You did good, bringing her to us…thank you, I love you.
