WILMINGTON—Carolyn Jayne Mise, 63, passed away Tuesday, May 1, 2018. Her family and friends were by her side through her last journey. Carolyn was born Nov. 17, 1954, in Wilson, North Carolina, the daughter of Elton and Eula Keen.
Carolyn was a caretaker at heart. She worked over 30 years as a nurse. While working in nursing, her coworkers nominated her for “Woman of the Year.”
During her life, she and her lifetime husband, Tony Mise, raised four children. When she wasn’t working as a nurse or taking care of her family, she enjoyed cooking, gardening, dancing and music. If any guest ever stopped by to visit, she was glad to offer them a seat at the table, and a plate to take home.
Beautiful Carolyn Jayne is survived by her loving husband, Tony Mise; four children, Anthony Brandon, Lesley Shannon, Allison McKenzie and Andrew Ryan; three grandchildren, Tobias, Jaxson and Rylee; brother, Douglas Keen, and his wife, Linda Keen; and numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and more friends than one could ask for.
A celebration of life will be held from 3 to 6 p.m., Saturday, May 5, at 717 Shawnee Trail, Wilmington, to honor and share the love that Carolyn always showed others. A beautiful soul that will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. Thank you for all the support during these heartbreaking times. For our celebration, dress will be casual and food will be provided.
In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the American Stroke Association or Lower Cape Fear Hospice.
