CAROLINE PERFIDIO Obituary
CAROLINE ELLEN
Of Kissimmee, FL, passed away peacefully at the age of 81 on August 14, 2020. Wife of the late Thomas Perfidio. She was involved in local politics, acting as Democrat Ward Committee-woman until 1986, when she became a dedicated Republican for the remainder of her life. She was affectionately known as "the warden" and was a friend and mother figure to many neighborhood children.
She is survived by her daughter and five sons: Carol (John) Merrill; Rich (Kate); Tommy (Sharon); George; Danny; Jim (Debbie). She is also survived by her devoted sister Rose Hallermeier Brietenstine (Alan) of Hudson, FL, 13 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. Services will be held at a later date.

Carol was the best mother-in-law ever. She would help with little tidbits of wise information without being condescending or bossy with her grandchildren. I knew her most of my life and I always marveled at how she kept those five boys in line (Carol was pretty good). I was lucky to have married her wonderful son Thomas who has always been a respectful, kind and hard-working man (on our 34th year of marriage) and I give her all the credit. She never butted into anyone's business and or had any unkind words to say about anyone. She never wanted to be a burden to anyone and repeatedly said so. She missed her husband Tom terribly after his passing in 2011 and seemed lonely afterwards. She was truly a family woman and worked with children for over 16 years at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. She was known as either Mrs. P or the warden by the neighborhood kids but was always respected with high regard. She was the true embodiment of a perfect mother and I will love and miss her forever.

Carol, you will be missed by many. I know I sure miss seeing you out and about the neighborhood. I sure hope they have Burger King available in heaven.

Carol was one of the nicest, friendliest people I met. She's talking to God & St. Peter now. I know she will be missed here on earth. God rest her soul. Amen.
