Caroline Alice Vemilyea was born September 17, 1924 in Coleraine, MN the youngest child of Mabel King Vemilyea and David Meade Vemilyea. She graduated from Greenway High School in Coleraine in 1942. During her senior year, she met Ed, her future husband who was attending Itasca Junior College. Caroline went on to attend St. Olaf College and then graduated from Minneapolis School of Medical Technology. She worked as a medical technologist for two years in Cheyenne, WY, which turned out to be where her future husband, Clifford Edwin Sisler was stationed in the Army. Caroline had always felt this was fate, since she had previously applied for a job in Denver, CO. That job was filled and they sent her application to Cheyenne. They had been dating since her senior year in high school. Caroline was united in marriage to Ed Sisler February 24, 1946. She worked for the University of Minnesota in Pathology Lab as a lab technician. She was the mother of 4 children: David, Mark, Rebecca, and Timothy. Caroline was a homemaker once they started having children. She always took pride in being a mom. She enjoyed making delicious meals, having a nicely set table, and dining as a family. Her children remember her as a wonderful cook and dessert maker - there was always a full cookie jar. One of her frustrations was trying to keep special homemade sweets until the occasion they were made for. She tried hiding them, but Eddy always found them. Caroline loved her God, Eddy, family, and friends. She enjoyed visits from grandchildren and she and Eddy traveled many miles to watch their baseball games and even went trick or treating with them. Caroline was a gentle, caring person who never had a hard word for anyone. Her family was her life. Her friends knew her word was her bond. She will be missed by all. May God bless her memory.
