Carolyn L. Nitschke, age 77 of Greenwood, passed away peacefully in her home on May 1st, 2018 surrounded by her beloved family. She will be greatly missed by the many people who love her. Carolyn was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and she always said that her family was her greatest accomplishment in her life. She was a strong woman of faith that she has also passed on to her children. Carolyn retired from Macy’s in 2012 so she was able to spend more time doing the things she enjoyed, like spending time around her pool, playing cards and gathering with friends and family.

Carolyn is survived by her husband of 38 years, Duane Nitschke; children, Cynthia (Don) Hughett, Victoria (Gary) Goins, Robert (Jenny) Clancy, Bill and Brian Nitschke, 17 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
