Caroline T.  Omernik

Age 88 of Stevens Point, formerly of Rosholt, passed away on Thursday, September 3, 2020 at Willow Brooke Senior Living Center while under the care of Ministry Home Care Hospice.

Caroline was born September 10, 1931 on the Budzinski family farm in the Town of Sharon to Wallace and Anna (Soik) Budzinski. She married the love of her life, Joseph B. Omernik on August 27, 1951 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Polonia. After their marriage the couple settled in Ellis, where they farmed and raised their family. Once retired, they moved to Rosholt and later to Stevens Point. Her husband Joseph preceded her in death on December 14, 2011.

Caroline had several jobs, but her most precious time was being a wife, mother and grandmother. Caroline was a very giving person, volunteering her time to Meals on Wheels, cooking for St. Adalbert's Parish Fish fries and for Funeral Luncheons. She also donated her time to the Rosholt Elementary children as a grandparent whom would read with the students. Caroline had a warm, generous heart, always giving to others and was a shoulder to lean on for anyone in need.  She enjoyed reading, cooking, gardening, bingo and especially gathering with family and friends reminiscing of old times and always looking to the future for the next adventure. We will miss her kindness, generosity and most of all her beautiful smile and warm hugs.

She is survived by her children, Daniel B. Omernik, and Dawn (Ken) Johnson, and one grandson Curtis (Katelyn) Johnson and one sister, Jeanette (George) Wierzba.

She was preceded in death by her parents Wallace and Anna Budzinski, her husband Joseph B. Omernik, four brothers, Ernest, Rudie, Edward (Dorothy) and Albert (Agnes) Budzinski, five sisters, Bridget (Alois) Hudy, Susie "Suzanne" (Ray) Shulfer, Joanne (John) Kropidlowski Sr., Shirley "Charlotte" (Donald) Zimbauer Sr, and Mary Jane (Bill) Theel.

A special heartfelt thank you to Ascension St. Michael's Hospital team, Willow Brooke Point Staff and Ascension Ministry Home Care Hospice for all your services, warmth and kindness during mother's struggle with cancer. You are all truly hero's.
