MILFORD – Carolyn J. Auer, age 84, of
Milford, Ind., passed away at home surrounded
by her family on Sunday, Aug. 4,
2019.
She was born on Feb. 11, 1935, the
daughter of Willard and Esther Gerber
Martin, in Kokomo, Ind. On June 22,
1956, she married Robert Eugene Auer;
he survives.
Other survivors include four children: Roxana (Michael)

Carolyn graduated from Bremen High School in 1953 and
was a devoted and awesome stay-at-home mom for many
years. She later worked at Kosciusko Community Hospital in
Warsaw and Orn Nursing Home in Milford. Carolyn attended
the Goshen Christian Church for many years with her husband
and always put others before herself, no matter how
sick or busy she was. Her devotion to her husband of 63
years is unsurpassed. Carolyn was also a very talented seamstress
and made special blankets for all of her children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always used her
talents to make you feel special. Whether it was baking your
favorite dish on your birthday or simply listening, she will
always be remembered for the way she loved you unconditionally.
Carolyn will be deeply missed, but it is heaven’s
great gain.
A graveside service will be held in Carolyn’s honor at 2
