Carole J. Densow, age 89, of Thiensville died peacefully at The Cottages in West Bend on Saturday, March 30, 2019. Carole was born October 2, 1929, in Algoma, the daughter of Jacob and Lucille Kostichka. It was in Algoma that Carole met and married Charles L. Densow. Chuck and Carole owned and operated Densow Funeral Home in Thiensville. They both took great pride and compassion in serving the residents of Thiensville-Mequon. Following Chuck's death in 1998, Carole continued to live next to, and work at the funeral home until her health caused her to move to Willowbrook Assisted Living and subsequently The Cottages at the age of 84. Carole loved traveling with family, reading, Broadway shows, exercising, living in the Village of Thiensville, bird watching and spending time with her children and grandchildren.  Her wit and smile endured over the years despite the onset and advancement of dementia.
