Carol Kalafut Obituary
AGE: 73 • Wilmington
Passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 2, 2015, after a long battle with cancer. Carol was born in Minneapolis, MN to the late Stanley and Helen (Henry) Johnson. She moved to Delaware in her 20's to start her life long career in the banking industry. She began her work at PNC Bank and after 35 years of dedicated service, retired as a branch manager. After her brief retirement, Carol rejoined the workforce as a small business loan officer at WSFS bank for 10 years. Carol led a quiet life and enjoyed the little things. She always greatly treasured the time spent with family in her backyard pool, trips to Delaware Park, and traveling with her husband, Mike.
Carol will be dearly missed by all those who knew her, especially her husband, Michael J. Kalafut; stepsons, David J. (Maura), Mark T. (Missy) and Michael L.; her 8 grandchildren and great-granddaughter. Carol is also survived by her sister, Diane Kamletz; brother, Kurt Johnson; niece, Debbie Reicher; and nephew, Kevin Kamletz, all of Minneapolis, MN.
