Cari Kraft Obituary
Born on March 15, 1962, in Fort Madison, Iowa, she was the daughter of Harvey and Glenda (Buxton) Blint Sr. On May 31, 1991, in Burlington, she married James A. Kraft. He preceded her in death on June 28, 1998.
Cari loved her caregivers; they were like family to her. She loved babies, cats and dogs, coloring, and doing crafts at the facility. She absolutely loved special dinner days like KFC, sushi and pizza delivery. Cari was a very colorful story teller and everyone loved talking with Cari to hear what story she would come up with next.
She is survived by many friends and caregivers that she loved dearly at Burlington Care Center and Savannah Heights Nursing Home. Also surviving is a very special friend Alicia Anderson of Stronghurst, IL.
Cremation has been entrusted and accorded to the care of Lunning Chapel.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date at Savannah Heights Nursing Home. Interment will be held in Aspen Grove Cemetery.
