Carole spent many years working as a cashier at Publix in Boynton Beach, Florida and then Sullivan’s in Harvard. She was a die-hard Cubs fan and golf nut.

She was preceded in death by her parents Peter and Vera, her husband Robert Brennecka, brother Bob Lucich, sister Pat LeBaron, and grandson Kurtis Firn.

The family would like to thank Alden Terrace and hospice for their loving care.
