OREGON - Caroline Patricia Enderlin (née Kwak), 64, of Oregon, Wis., passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 27, 2025. She was born on February 24, 1961, in Milwaukee, Wis., to Thomas and Patricia (Cook) Kwak.

Caroline dedicated her life to family, creativity, and caring for others. From a young age, she found joy in working with children, beginning as a camp counselor and starting a career in education. She carried that passion into her own family, pouring her heart into her daughters' lives - leading Girl Scout troops, organizing elaborate birthday celebrations, and ensuring every moment was filled with love and creativity.

She was a talented crafter and beader, always working on a new project. In recent years, she discovered a love for cruising and cherished trips to Disney with her family. But her greatest joy came from time spent with her beloved grandchildren, Charlotte, Jameson, and Eliza, who brought endless happiness to her life.

Caroline's strength and selflessness were evident in all she did, as she bravely faced a lifelong health battle with grace and resilience. Her kindness and unwavering support for others will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Michael Enderlin; her daughters, Catherine (Steven) Passe and Monica (Brian) Bothwell; her grandchildren, Charlotte, Jameson, and Eliza; her mother, Patricia Kwak; and her siblings, Susan (John) Stalewski, John (Pam) Kwak, Judy (Vern) Dougherty, Tom (Tricia) Kwak and Jim (Kristin) Kwak. She was preceded in death by her father, Thomas Kwak; and her brother, Paul Kwak.
