Carol J. Schwei, Neenah, age 72, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 21, 2008, at Cherry Meadows Hospice. She was born April 4, 1935, in Little Chute, daughter of the late John and Harriet (Van Vonderen) Hammen. Carol graduated from St. John's High School in Little Chute in 1953 and attended St. Mary's Nursing School in Rochester, Minnesota, for three years, graduating in 1956. Carol married Dr. George P. Schwei in October of 1968. He preceded her in death on January 8, 1978. Carol was a member of St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Neenah. Carol's vocation as a nurse enabled her to have many unique and wonderful experiences. Her career took her to Phoenix, Yellowstone National Park, Madison, where she worked for the Red Cross, and ultimately to Neenah where she worked in the surgical intensive care unit at Theda Clark Hospital and as a registered nurse at Vallhaven Care Center. Carol loved her family, loved to travel, and loved the Chicago Cubs. She will be remembered for her dedication to the sick and elderly, her inner strength, and her undying spirit and optimism.
Survivors include three children, Matthew Schwei, Madison, Joseph (Tamara Downs) Schwei, Minneapolis, David (Michelle) Schwei, Atlanta; a brother, Dan (Ellen) Hammen, Stockbridge.
She was preceded in death by a sister, June Hammen and a brother, Clarence "Abe" Hammen.
