CAROL ANN CIMINO (nee Gaeger) of Elmwood Park (formerly Chicago) 87, born December 5, 1937 at rest September 30, 2025.

Loving mother to Vincent (Mary) Cimino. Michele Cimino and Michael Cimino (Joanna) and grandchildren Ryan Theiler & Francesca Cimino.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Ernest & Anne Gaeger, brothers Karl & David Gaeger.

Carol is survived by her sisters-in-law Charlene Gaeger; nieces Audrey (Vern) Schultz, Susan (Eric) Balius, Lisa (Mike) Vokac and Michelle Sherrier; nephews David (Lauren) Gaeger, Joseph (Rachel) Gaeger and Patrick (Meghan) Gaeger and 14 great nieces and nephews.

Carol enjoyed keeping her mind & memory sharp as a tack by watching & challenging herself daily to rounds of jeopardy, playing numerous word games and then emailing her Genius score to her children.

She looked forward to family holiday traditions of sharing stories, games with all the kids and trips to Michigan and California to visit her cousins. She loved all her extended family and built great memories that will always live on in our hearts.
