Obituary - Carol Jean Schlobohm

Carol Jean Schlobohm, 66, Nevada, MO, passed away unexpectedly on April 7, 2022. Carol’s journey to heaven began in the early morning hours, when, after a life flight, her brave heart stopped suddenly. She was born October 10, 1955 in Suffolk County, NY. Carol married Bill Schlobohm in Nevada MO in 2012, and he survives in their home.

Carol lived a full and fascinating life. Her interests and pursuits were varied, including interesting careers…from owning a nail salon in New York, to working on a deep-sea fishing charter boat in Florida…Carol loved the salt life. She was an avid collector, attending auctions, meeting people, and finding treasures. Carol had a deep passion for the care of nursing home residents. When not on the clock working in a nursing home, she would spend her private time caring for and spending time with the residents. Oftentimes, she worked with her husband Bill, who is a balloon artist, making balloon art for elderly people and small children. She was Bill’s greatest fan, supporting him in his race car hobby.

Carol was well known locally for her business, Carol’s Kitchen. Her delicious meals and desserts for individuals and families were famous and in great demand. Her cinnamon rolls always sold out immediately. She leaves behind wonderful memories to all who knew and loved her.

Memorial services will be held at 7:00pm on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at Trinity Lutheran Church, where she was a member.
