Carol Jean Beine, 81, of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2025. Born on October 30, 1943, she was the beloved daughter of Edna and J. Alfred Beine and sister of John Beine. Carol shared an extraordinary bond with her mother Edna—they were inseparable companions whose deep connection was evident to all who knew them. When her mother passed away, it left a profound void in Carol’s heart that she carried with love and grace throughout her life.

Carol dedicated many years of her career to Monopanel, where she served as both receptionist and bookkeeper. Her warm personality and genuine care for others made her workplace a brighter place, and some of her most treasured friendships were formed there—relationships that remained strong and meaningful throughout her entire life. She also worked at Boston Store, bringing that same warmth and dedication to every role she filled.

A woman of deep faith, Carol was a longtime member of St. Margaret Mary Church, where she shared her beautiful voice as a member of the choir. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, guiding her generous spirit and abundant love for others.

Though she never had children of her own, Carol had love in abundance for everyone around her. She was known for her ever-present smile and the camera that was always in her hand, capturing precious moments with the people she cherished. She made friends everywhere she went, maintaining these connections through regular visits, phone calls, and the many cards and letters she faithfully sent. She was, in every sense, a true friend.

Carol is survived by loving cousins, as well as the many friends who became family to her over the years. All will deeply miss her infectious smile, her caring heart, and her ability to make everyone feel special.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025, at Saint Margaret Mary Church, 3970 N. 92nd Street, Milwaukee.  Visitation will begin at 10:30 AM, followed by a Mass at 11:30 AM. Burial will take place afterward at Holy Cross Cemetery, with a luncheon to follow at Maxims Restaurant, 18025 W. Capitol Drive, Brookfield, WI 53045  

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Spina Bifida Wisconsin in Carol’s memory.
