Ms. Carol Jean Meyer

Carol Jean Meyer, 67, born on March 17, 1952, in San Bernardino, CA, US, passed away August 15, 2019. She resided in Upland, CA at the time of her passing. Arrangements are under the direction of Forest Lawn, Covina Hills, California. Services begin at 2:30 p.m., doors open at 2:00 p.m. Carol Jean Meyer was born to parents Alphonse and Jane Nowicki. She was the fifth of six children and the second of only two daughters. Carol stuck to her roots and spent most of her time living in the Southern California region she loved, where her own three daughters – Lisa, Traci and Erin, eventually followed suit. Spending her childhood in the city of Bloomington, Carol was known as bright, imaginative, thoughtful and incredibly giving. She was also very active at Bloomington High School as a Madrigal, skilled archer, and member of the Drill Team, the beginning to the wide array of talents Carol beheld. She was an amazing singer; loved gardening; artistically decorated cakes; and created the best homemade culinary creations and comfort food. In later years, she used her skills to spend her time exploring with crafting projects and perfecting her mastery at crocheting the most beautiful, cozy blankets. Carol's gorgeous smile and infectious laugh was capable of lighting up the world, appropriately matching the type of person needed for her line of work. Carol started her career in medical assisting at Kaiser Permanente in the early 1970s, later serving in a supervisory role at Chaparral Medical Group. Her insurmountable amount of energy she put into loving her family was the focus of her life. In addition to her daughters, Carol is survived by her grandchildren Madison, Tommy, Xavi, and Maggie; her sister, Marie; brothers Donald and Terrence Sr.; plus many other friends and adored family members. Carol passed away on August 15, 2019 following a year-long battle with leukemia. Her fight was strong, and was only a small glimpse of the many examples showing what a warrior of a woman she was. The mark she left on the world was true to anyone who crossed her path. She leaves a void in our hearts and will be forever missed.
