MADISON - Carolyn Zautke, age 72, of Madison, passed away on Tuesday, December 25th, 2018 at Agrace HospiceCare, Fitchburg, WI. She was born on June 9, 1946 at Memorial Hospital in Madison, WI, the daughter of Rachel and Mariano Vitale.
Carolyn worked for 14 years as a housekeeper at Concourse Hotel in Madison, and later at Northport Apartments. She enjoyed adult coloring books and watching television, including her favorite shows, Dancing with the Stars and NCIS. She was a wonderful cook; whose specialty of Spaghetti and meatballs was a family favorite. She was a sassy, kind-hearted, social butterfly who found it easy to start conversations with the people she met everywhere she went. Above all she loved spending time with friends and family, and she will be dearly missed.
She is survived by her daughter, Conya (David) Bailey of Madison; her sisters, Joanne (Marty) Keller of Cross Plains and Mary Lempel of Milwaukee; and, her granddaughter, Ava Ray Lalor of Columbus, WI.
A Celebration of Carolyn's Life is planned for the near future.
Weep not for me though I have gone
Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years
There is no pain, I suffer not
The fear is now all gone
Put now these things out of your thoughts
In your memory I live on
Remember not my fight for breath
Please do not dwell upon my death
But celebrate my life
