Carol Sens Obituary

Carol Dixon SensIn loving memory, we announce the passing of Carol Dixon Sens on January 1, 2013. Known to all as Cappy, she was born in Boonton NJ on June 9, 1928. She attended grade school at St. Johns School in Mt. Lakes NJ, high school at Mountain Lakes High and Emma Willard Preparatory School for Girls in Troy NY and went on to Parsons School of Design in NYC. Throughout her life, Cappy's kindness touched so many, including serving as a volunteer for Riverside Hospital in NJ where she headed many fund raising events. Cappy, and her adoring Husband of 62 years, Ralph lived in Smoke Rise NJ, Boonton Township NJ, Panther Valley NJ, and Deerfield Beach FL, before moving to beautiful Callawassie Island, SC in 1989, where Cappy served for many years as Chairman of the Callawassie Architectural Review Board. A loving and caring wife and mother, Cappy is survived by her husband Ralph Sens and their four children: daughter Carolyn Olenowski, her husband Mike; sons Russell Sens and his wife Maria; Donald Sens and his wife Kathy; and James Sens and his wife Linda. She is also survived by five grandchildren: Robert Sens; Matthew and Timothy Olenowski; and Madelyn and Charlotte Sens. The entire Sens family wishes to thank our dear friend Kym Greene, the staff of Beaufort Memorial Hospital, her Caregiver Charlene Franklin and all those who helped Cappy, for their unending care, love and support. Memorial services will be announced at a later date.

I worked with Linda Sens at Maione Hirschberg Company in Montville many years ago - is Cappy her Mom? If so, she was a dear, sweet lady and I'm sorry to hear of her passing.

Words can never express my gratitude for having had the opportunity to know Cappy. She was wise, loving, generous, loyal and funny. I will forever remember and appreciate her words of wisdom and advice. She was one tough cookie who quickly became the dearest of friends and extended family to me. I was so blessed to have her in my life and am forever grateful for the wonderful times we shared. She is deeply missed and will always be in my heart... Kym (& "your" Sam)

I will never forget Cappy's kind &open-armed greeting when I first met her. She made me feel like we had been friends for years. She was a beautiful soul, and the world is a little poorer for her loss. My deepest condolences to Ralph & the entire family. You're in my prayers. MaryLou Rimpa (Mosher).
