Carole Stitt-Bruner Obituary
Carole M. Stitt-Bruner passed away peacefully in Kennebunkport Maine on September 18, 2020 at the age of 67. Born in Sacramento on February 22, 1953 to her loving parents Burton and Hazel Stitt, Carole was a graduate of San Domenico School for Girls in Marin County as well as UC Santa Barbara. She completed her Masters of Divinity from Golden Gate Baptist Seminary in Mill Valley, CA. Carole's successful career as a leader in the stock market lasted for 27 years before her retirement. She married her beloved husband Ben in 1995 and they created a wonderful home together in San Francisco with their son Benjamin Bruner Junior. They enjoyed spending summers together in Maine.
In addition to being a devoted and loving wife and mother, Carole was a believer in Yeshua the Messiah and she shared her dedication to Christ through her generous volunteer work for numerous organizations. Carole was a world traveler and she took several pilgrimages to Israel over the years. Multi-talented as a pianist, artist, and financier, Carole's brilliant intellect and loving nature touched the lives of her many friends and her entire family. Preceded in death by her parents and her brother Jeffrey Stitt, Carole is survived by her husband Benjamin Bruner, son Benjamin Bruner, Jr. and her brother Gordon Stitt. Carole's incredible energy and beautiful spirit will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved her and we will cherish the wonderful memories that we shared with her.

I always think of Carole on February 22, her birthday. I think I first met her at Belvedere School but I cannot remember what grade but it was probably kindergarten. We all grew up together in Belvedere. I took the bus to San Domenico with her but then I transferred to Redwood High School. I spent a lot of time at Carole's house on Madrona Avenue in Belvedere. She was a spitfire for sure. I don't think there wasn't anything she could not do. I admired her energy and intellect. It really hit me hard when she passed away. She was a very special person.

Carole was a classmate friend of mine at San Domenico. She was bubbly and joyful then too! I've often thought of her through the years, having spoken to her just as she began working for Charles Schwab. I'm not surprised that she did well! Reading of her passing in the San Domenico School Ties news, this comes as quite a surprise since she seemed to have more than enough life and love to fill the universe!
I knew her brother, Gordon, of whom I also have fond memories! Our families both lived in Belvedere/Tiburon during our school years. My brother, John, was in Scouts with Jeff. My condolences to the family, and to others who had the privilege to share her sparkle and laughter.
Lovingly, Mary Hermansky

I was a student at Golden Gate Seminary at the same time as Carol. I remember her beautiful face and superior intelligence--she had a certain unique personality that God had specifically given to her. Saddened to hear this news-just recently. -Kenneth Grisham.
