  Carol Jean (Kersten) Gossen The world was left a better place because Carol was in it. Carol (Kersten) Gossen passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Tuesday, November 9, 2010. Family was the most important thing in Carol's life. She was the glue that kept the family together. Carol had a way of always making you feel special, important and valued. Just knowing her made you a better person. She was not only a mother to her children but to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well. Above all Carol was compassionate and forgiving. As many would attest to, she was an angel living among us. Carol was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, sister, friend and neighbor. Carol was born October 31, 1941 to the late Norbert and Martha (Aerts) Kersten. On June 25, 1960 she married Ronald William James Antonio Ruschek Jr. Gossen. That was her first mistake. J Just this past summer they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The most important puzzle piece in our family is now missing. She is sadly missed by her loving husband Ron, children; Carrie (Arleigh Porter) Gossen, Amy (special friend Tony Kitson) Kakwitch, Tricia (Erik) Paul and Michael (Barbi) Gossen. She is futher missed and survived by her grandchildren; Kayla (Daniel Doyen) Gossen, Blake (Amy) Titus, Jeremy (April) Gossen, Luke Titus, Brent Kakwitch, Mico (Paige Kachichian) Kakwitch, Bryce and Mason Paul; great- grandchildren, Colton and Aubrey Doyen. Further survived by her sibilings John (Carol) Kersten, Paul (Kathleen) Kersten, Michael (Bonnie) Kersten and Mary (Steve) Kersten-Maes. Her sister-in-law Anita Kersten, Ron's family as well as numerous family and friends. Our angel has now left to join her son, Todd and her brother Jim Kersten.
