Caroline E Johner

She was flamboyant and loved to laugh. For Caroline life was an adventure. As a young woman she became unhappy with living in New Jersey and set off her greener pastures. She hitchhiked all the way to California, sleeping in bus stops along the way. She answered her country call and joined the navy. She’d meet a man just out of the Korean War, marry and make her way around the country until again resettling in New Jersey.rnrnLater years found her enjoying old movies with Robert Taylor and Alan Ladd and of course she wouldn’t have minded finding Robert Goulet’s shoes under her bed. Her music tastes were eclectic: she loved to yodel, sang religious tunes, played piano at church and Sunday School and enjoyed listening to everything from Sinatra to country. She loved mysteries, Days of Our Lives, Murder She Wrote and Nancy Drew. She had an abundance of life knowledge that her grandkids sought: everything from boy problems to dealing with parents. Until the end she remained intensely independent and never hesitated to speak her mind. She was a. upbeat social butterfly who loved to be teased but had no problem giving it right back.rnrnShe is survived by her three children: Carol Muehlhauser, Joyce Johner Perez, Gloria Burt, and John Matt Johner, 6 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.rnrnCome celebrate 92 great years Thursday 1 to 1:45 p.m. at Sweeney Funeral Home, 337 Bridgeboro Street, Riverside where there will be a service at 2 p.m. Interment Lakeview Cemetery, Cinnaminson.rn –
