February 3, 1940 — April 22, 2016
Carolyn Louise (Ervolina) Eschmann, 76, of Manchester, CT, loving wife for sixty years of John R. "Rudy" Eschmann, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Friday, April 22, 2016.
She was born on February 3, 1940 in Queens, NY, daughter of Anthony and Irene Ervolina. She was raised in Ozone Park, New York and had been a Manchester resident since 1968. Prior to retiring Carolyn had been employed as an administrative assistant at the Travelers Insurance Company, the former Meadows Convalescent Home in Manchester, the Salmon Brook Convalescent Home in Glastonbury, and Tri-County Board of Realtors of Manchester. She was a faithful parishioner of the Church of The Assumption in Manchester, and a proud member of the Mt. Carmel / Saint Christina Society, The Sons of Italy, and Our Lady of Grace Society.
Carol was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who always put her family first. Being "Nonni" to her six grandchildren was her greatest role in life and they meant the world to her.

Bard, Stephanie Aheart and her husband Robert, Joseph Everett and his fiance Kara Dokas, Christina Everett, Angela Merrer, and Nicholas Merrer.
