Obituary
Carole S. Eisenstein, 76, of Deerfield, IL passed away at home on February 5, 2024. Cherished daughter of Jerrold and Adeline, devoted wife of Merrill, and mother to the light of her life, David.
Born on October 15, 1947, and raised in her beloved city of Chicago, Carole was known for her easy smile, light heart, and outgoing personality. Growing up, Carole enjoyed spending time with friends and participating in synchronized swimming, she was even selected to do the solo performance in the annual show at Glenbrook North. In 1971, she met the love of her life and perfect partner, Merrill, marrying later that same year. She lived and worked in the Chicago area for her entire life, enjoying everything the city had to offer, especially her beloved Chicago Cubs, and working for Northwestern Mutual. By far, her favorite role in life was being a devoted mother, spending countless hours cheering on her son at swim meets and baseball games, and then later traveling to visit him and his family in Ohio. She also loved and cared for numerous animals over the years, most recently her beloved boxer rescue, Buddy.
Carole is survived by her son David (Katy) of Holland, OH; brother Lee (Nina) Snett of Longmont, CO; and several cousins and in-laws. She was preceded in death by her parents, Jerrold and Adeline Snett nee Larwitz; her husband of nearly 48 years, Merrill; and parents-in-law, Harry and Eve Eisenstein.
