Carolyn Bilton Obituary

Carolyn S. Bilton

AGE: 70 • Wellfleet, MA

Carolyn S. Bilton passed away on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at her home in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Carolyn was born in Jersey City on September 23, 1943, grew up in River Edge, and lived for 42 years in Aberdeen and Ocean Townships. Carolyn moved to Wellfleet full-time in 2012, after having regularly visited Cape Cod with family for over 45 years. A registered nurse, Carolyn spent much of her career at Bayshore Community Hospital in Holmdel. She was awarded Nurse of the Year in 2000 for creating Comfort and Caring Day, which made Reiki, Reflexology, and massage available on a weekly basis to caregivers in the hospital. She also served five years as Director of Complementary Medicine at Robert Wood Johnson University Medical Center in New Brunswick, bringing complementary and alternative healing therapies to patients. Carolyn earned a Bachelor's Degree from Columbia University in 1966 and a Master's Degree as a Holistic Nurse Practitioner from New York University in 2003.

Carolyn is survived by her husband, Robert Cohen of Wellfleet; sons, Michael Bilton of California and Peter Bilton of New Jersey; a brother, William Sywak of California, and her two grandsons, John and Henry.

The family suggests donations in lieu of flowers, to VNA of Cape Cod Hospice at [email protected] or 508-862-5600, or to Mass Audubon at www.massaudubon.org or 800-283-8266. After an intimate family funeral in Wellfleet, a memorial and remembrance service will be held in Monmouth County in the coming weeks.
