Carol A. Sipple

COLEBROOK – Carol Wilhelm Sipple, 75, of Colebrook, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 24, 2021, with her husband, Greg, holding her hand. Carol had a big heart and strong opinions. She loved her family, her dogs, and a good book. Carol also loved to travel, and she and Greg ventured abroad as far as Australia, road tripped across the United States in their camper, and followed the music to see performances by her favorites like Jimmy Buffet, Zac Brown Band, and Howard Livingston & Mile Marker 24. She was always adventurous, and tried hang gliding, flew in hot air balloons, and swam with whales in the Caribbean. Carol was born to the late John Wilhelm and Mary Baker Wilhelm, and grew up with her late brother John W. Wilhelm in West New York, New Jersey. She graduated from Memorial High School in New Jersey and went on to train as a medical technician. Carol later worked in many different fields before settling into an administrative role for the Warren County Cultural & Heritage Commission in New Jersey, where she coordinated art shows, historic tours, and heritage festivals. During her time in Colebrook, Carol volunteered at Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital and Helping Hands North thrift shop and food pantry. She also served on the Board of Directors for the Zonta Annual ABC Run/Walk in Key West, Florida, to support breast cancer awareness and raise funds to provide preventive care services for women throughout the Keys. Carol is survived by her husband of 23 years, Greg Sipple; her children Staci Harrison (Bill), Kristi Mutnick (Brett), Jason Sipple (Patty), and Nicole Holmberg (Kris); and her grandchildren Brittany, Dustin, Trevor, Maddie, Luke, Josie, Diego, Connor, Soren, and Aren. To honor Carol's wishes, no services are planned. The family will gather privately for a celebration of life.
