Carol was born on April 16, 1941 in Galena, Illinois, daughter of Leroy and Anna (Kromer) Griener. She was united in marriage to Charles “Chuck” Womack of Platteville, Wisconsin. Together they were blessed with seven children.  Carol was more than a mother, she was a mother to all of her children's friends as well. While raising her family, she also worked at Southwest Health Center for 12 years. It was during that time she went back to school to become a CNA. She loved and cared for the elderly a great deal as she worked at Parkview Terrace for 22 years, retiring in 1995. After her divorce from Chuck, Carol had a very special relationship with Duane “Bud” Bloom for over 30 years, where his family became part of Carol's family. Carol enjoyed dancing and dining out. She especially loved traveling to Branson, Missouri and going camping. After retiring, she developed a love for Hallmark channel and Christmas movies, especially “Miracle On 34th St.”, her favorite. She never sat still very long, keeping up with her children, grandchildren, and extended family.

Carol is survived by three children, Becky (Bob) Brandenburg, Jeneen (Russ Bartell) Womack, and Alan (Robin) Womack; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, sons and daughters-in-law, Darrel Atkisson, Ricky Kittoe, Lisa Womack and Dawn Womack; two sisters, Cheryl Bloom and Shirley North; “Bud “ Blooms family; many nieces and nephews; special friends, Tondia Mutert, Scott (Kristy) Durr, and Eric Wilson. She was preceded in death by her former husband, significant other “Bud” Bloom, sons, Gary and Brian “Bubba” Womack, daughters, Debbie Atkisson and Julie Kittoe, her parents, grandsons, Aaron Gregory and Cody Womack, sons-in-law, Roger Gregory and John Henry, brothers, James and Ron Griener.

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear of your sister's passing. I remember the good old days in Galena at the old school and then moving to Platteville from the East Coast to find her living in Platteville. And I was fond of Brian who became my neighbor in Belmont. We touched bases in so many ways. My condolences to you, Cheryl, and to the rest of the family. Dorothy Beckwith

Carol and I had paths that kept crossing. I taught her children in sixth grade. Carol took a night class from me. She and I were also in a group of seven families that built our homes together through a Farmer's Home Administration self-help program in the 1970s. Recently I was able to visit her at Edenbrook Nursing home. Carol was her cheerful self. I always felt that Carol was someone that did the best she could despite many difficulties that came her way in life. I am sure she is lovingly remembered by those she came into contact with when she worked at Southwest Health and Parkview Terrace. She loved interacting with others to try to make their day better. I miss her. Kent Scheuerell
