Carol Kober Obituary

Kober, Carol Lynn (Polzin)

Carol Lynn Kober (Polzin), 44, of Sheboygan passed away surrounded by her family in her home Wednesday, August 28, 2013 after a brief battle with cancer.

Carol was born August 19, 1969 in Milwaukee to Robert Sr. and Marcella (Brinkman) Polzin.

On 7-7-7, Carol married the love of her life, Donald Kober Jr.

Nothing meant more to her than family. She was the rock and mediator for them. Carol will always be remembered for her ambition and her zest for life. She had a caring heart and helpful nature. She constantly put others before herself. Carol enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, who meant the world to her.

In addition to her husband Donny, Carol is survived by her children, Chadwick Michael Polzin, Domenic Daniel Polzin, and Kaletha Lee Polzin; grandchildren Elijah Michael Polzin, Kylee Lynn Maxey, Ethan Randell Frewert, Daelin Daniel Douglas Tramte, and Sophia Nicole Brandon; siblings Brenda "Bree" (Dan Bramsted) Polzin, Robert Jr. (Lucinda) Polzin, Anna (Steve) Malwitz, and Daniel Polzin; mother-in-law Doris Mae Kober; sisters-in-law Donna (Clark) Wasson and Doreen Kober; and other loved family and friends.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents; sister Lisa Ann Polzin; father-in-law Donald Kober Sr.; and other relatives.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Carol's name.

A memorial service will be held Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at Ballhorn Chapels at 7:00 pm. A time of visitation and support will be held at Ballhorn Chapels from 5:00 pm until the time of service.

Carol had an unforgettable laugh and could light up a room with her joy, her eyes, and her smile.

We are so sorry to hear about Carol's passing. She was truly an angel here on earth. She would light up a room with her cute impish laugh and sweet smile. They say God only takes the best and now He took his angel back home to be with Him. I guess her work here was done so now we look forward and remeber Carol as the sweet, kind and wonderful person she was. Our prayers are with everyone who knew and loved Carol.
