Carol (Demmith) La Fortune, a beloved resident of Green Bay, Wisconsin, peacefully passed away on Thursday, June 29th, 2023, at the age of 86. Born on July 23rd, 1936, in Green Bay, she was the cherished daughter of Lloyd and Ruth (Lietzke) Demmith. On May 5th, 1956, she married, Merle La Fortune.

Carol's memory will forever be treasured by her loving family, friends, and those who were fortunate enough to be a part of her life.

After graduating from Lena High School, Carol embarked on a journey filled with joy and accomplishment. For 30 years, Carol dedicated her skills and passion as a switchboard operator at St. Mary's Hospital, where she touched the lives of countless individuals with her warm and caring nature. Her genuine smile and kind words provided comfort and reassurance to both patients and colleagues. Additionally, Carol worked as an Accounts Payable clerk at Steiner Vending, where her professionalism and attention to detail were greatly appreciated.

Carol had a vibrant spirit and enjoyed various hobbies and interests. Carol loved to spend her free time soaking up the sun poolside with her grandchildren, and her best furry friends, Willy and Buddy. It would be uncommon in the summer's to see Carol without Johnny Cash on the radio and a slice of pizza. In the winters Carol love to watch Deal or No Deal, HGTV and spend time with her close family members. She found delight in playing bingo and cheering on her beloved Packers. Her faithful canine companion, Sammy, held a special place in her heart, providing companionship and unconditional love.

Carol found true happiness in the company of her family and friends. Carol is survived by her loving children, Lisa Bougneit and Tina (Henry) Althoff, who carry forward her legacy of love and strength. She had a special place in her heart for her grandchildren, Crystal (significant other, Zack) Bougneit, John Bougneit, Amber (Casey) Pfaff, Abigail (Trevor) Jones, and her great-grandchildren, Sebastian, Sullivan, and Lennon. Their company filled her days with immeasurable joy. Her sister, Sharon Reynolds, also mourns her loss. She is further survived by the father of Lisa's children, Bob Bougneit.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Ruth Demmith, leaving behind a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew them.

Her legacy of kindness and compassion will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind. May she rest in eternal peace, knowing that her memory will forever be cherished.
