Caroline was born at home in Port Richmond to Anna and Edward Dever as one of ten children. She devoted her life to her five children, whom she raised admirably on her own while also working full time at Nabisco for over forty years. Caroline loved to travel and enjoy time with her family and her many friends, especially those from the Primrose Seniors. She treasured the time she spent with her grandchildren and great-grandsons. Caroline spent the last few years at Pine Run Nursing Care. We would like to thank all the amazing staff there. We also want to thank the staff at Dialysis and her amazing driver Brenda. Caroline passed away peacefully at Doylestown Hospital. We would like to thank the staff for the care they gave her. Caroline's greatest heartache was the passing of her daughter Kathy (32). We are at Peace knowing they are now together.
