Carolyn P. Willingham Passed away Sunday, September 2, at the age of 48. She is survived by her mother Hilary of Oak Harbor, her sister Susan of Seattle, and her brother Richard of Hamilton, NJ. Care was born in Seattle on July 28, 1970, and graduated in 1988 from Bartlett High School in TN. She earned her B.A. at WWU in 1994 and received her master's in Education at Walden University in 2005. Carolyn was a Special Education teacher since 1995, and had been a teacher at Sacajawea Middle School in Federal Way since 2004. Care was a loving friend, mentor, teacher, sister, and daughter. She has been taken away from us far too soon, and she'll be greatly missed by all who have been given the gift of having known her. Care fought bravely and defeated breast cancer in 2017. To honor her memory, donations can be made to aid in the battle against breast cancer at Making Strides of South Sound, which helps funds breast cancer research at The American Cancer Society. Services are being held Thursday, September 6 at 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen Washelli in Seattle.
