Obituary
Carolyn Jean Bromley, nee Brewer, age 70, of Eagle River, Alaska, passed away May 5, 2011 in an automobile accident that also claimed the life of her twin sister Marilyn Sue Wilkin.
Carol was retired from Alaska Native Hospital in Anchorage, Alaska, where she worked for many years as the Infection Control Coordinator. While working, she initiated the formation of the Alaska Infection Control Association and continued to be active in the program until her death. She was a devoted caregiver and loved her ministry of nursing. She earned her Nursing Certificate from Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, her RN degree from University of Dayton, and her graduate degree in Hospital Management from the University of LaVerne. Her family moved to Eagle River 28 years ago; there she enjoyed fishing, walking, and all that Alaska had to offer.
She was an Air Force Nurse during the Vietnam War, and was proud of her service in the 805th Medical Group. She was an active parishioner at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Eagle River and was a devoted mother and wife.
She was preceded in death by her father, Clarence Brewer.
Surviving are her husband, Raymond Bromley, whom she married July 18, 1964 at Whiteman AFB, Missouri; her sons, Raymond (Diana) Bromley, Jr. of Lee's Summit, Missouri, Keith (Dianne) Bromley of Austin, Texas; her mother Dorothy, nee Gnau, Brewer of Dayton, Ohio; her brother Richard (Karen) Brewer of Cleveland, Ohio; nine grandchildren, Lauren, Emily, Nick, Jane, Ryan, Danny, David, Dylan, and Duncan; and two adopted grandchildren, Nicole and Jamie Barkley.
