Carol Kohnen Obituary
April 8, 1948 - April 11, 2025
Carol passed away peacefully on Friday, April 11, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Beloved wife of Richard Kohnen; devoted mother of Jill (Matt) Gallardo and Doug (Steph) Kohnen; cherished grandmother of Max and Vera Gallardo; dear daughter of the late Joseph and Josephine Licavoli (née Strenfel); loving sister of Joe (the late Linda) Licavoli. Our dear aunt, great-aunt, sister-in-law, cousin, and friend to many.
Carol graduated summa cum laude from Saint Louis University and was a proud member of Phi Beta Kappa and MENSA International. She began her professional journey in computer programming, later following her passion for knowledge and education by earning a Master's degree in Library Science. She served as the school librarian at St. Joseph's Academy and Parkway North High School, ultimately retiring as the Head of Library and Technical Services for the Parkway School District. Carol was a dedicated advocate for civil liberties and women's rights, a proud supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and a generous contributor to numerous charitable causes. She volunteered with the St. Louis Genealogical Society and shared her talents as Editor of the Lake Tishomingo Newsletter.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or to your local library in Carol's honor.
