Carolyn Ann Weber Sisson, age 88, of Belleville, Wisconsin / Locust Grove, Virginia, passed away on March 27, 2020.  Carolyn was born on September 21, 1931 in Madison, Wisconsin, the third child of Bertel and Winifred (Pearce) Weber.

Carolyn graduated from Belleville High School with the great class of 1949.  She attended Madison Business College and worked a number of office/management jobs throughout her life.  In 1950 she married Charles Kenneth Sisson of Albany, Wisconsin. She and her husband, a teacher and school administrator, lived and worked in a number of Wisconsin cities and towns, Milton Junction, Janesville, Elmwood, Richland Center, Hazel Green, Orfordville, Platteville, Madison and Belleville among them.  After her husband's death in 1993, Carolyn retired from EDS and moved to Marshfield, Wisconsin where her son and family resided. In July of 2012, Carolyn moved from her beloved Wisconsin to Locust Grove, Virginia where her daughter Joyce and spouse, Linda Hurff, reside. She loved Virginia, as it reminded her a great deal of Wisconsin – rolling hills and lots of trees, but also had the gorgeous Blue Ridge mountains and milder winters.

Carolyn cherished her friendship with her dear lifelong friend Monica Dolahanty Francois of Belleville.  Monica was most generous with her time and thoughtfulness to Carolyn, and enriched her life greatly. Another great friend, Shirley Kirsop, helped Carolyn (in her words) keep her sanity throughout the many years of their friendship.

Carolyn loved people and she loved to laugh, very often finding humor where others saw none.  She enjoyed many hobbies and crafts and loved to travel. Her greatest joy was being a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and good friend.  She had a great life – maybe a few too many bumps and bruises, but she weathered them well with lots of help from family and friends. She asks that you celebrate her life and not mourn her passing – laugh, live it up, and enjoy.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; her brother Bertel and her sister, Joyce; a granddaughter, Erin Ann; as well as her grandparents, aunts and uncles, and two nephews and a niece.

Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Joyce and her spouse, Linda Hurff of Locust Grove, VA; her son Gordon and his wife Gwen (Reilly) of Kildeer, IL ; three grandchildren, Nathan Reilly (Sarah) Sisson of Tacoma, WA, Brian Kenneth Sisson of Stevens Point, WI, and Casey Sisson Bouska (Nate) of Edgerton, WI; one great grandchild, Erin Reilly Sisson of Tacoma, WA; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and dear friends.
