Carol L. Christopher

Carol L Christopher, 72, passed away peacefully July 16, 2019, with her family at her side. Carol

was a long-time resident of Madison, ME.

Carol was born on January 20, 1947 in Hartford, CT to Fredrick Kiesow and Gloria Bragg. She moved to Winslow at the age of one where she spent her childhood at the family farm on the Reynolds Road. She graduated from Winslow High School in 1965 and then attended Colby College. While at Colby, she met her husband Craig who was attending Thomas College at the time. They were married in 1967 and moved to Madison to start their family and eventually build their home on the Ward Hill Road. Carol dedicated her life to raising her children. She enjoyed sharing her love of cooking and gardening with her children and grandchildren. She could most often be found visiting with family, neighbors, and friends over a cup of coffee and a homemade treat. Her love of animals was showcased in the many dogs and cats that she cared for over the years.
