Carole Anne
Raupp
Aug 15, 1943 — Sep 1, 2023
Carole Anne (Seabright) Raupp , 80, of Telford, PA; formerly of Sellersville, PA entered into the presence of her Savior on Friday, September 1, 2023 at Lutheran Community at Telford.
Carole was born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Frederick E. Seabright, Sr. and the late Margaret E. (Balzereit) Seabright. She was the loving wife of Frederick E. Raupp, Jr. for 59 years.
She graduated from Olney High School in Philadelphia, PA, class of 1961. Her first fulltime job was as secretary for a law office in Philadelphia. After starting a family, she worked at Kremp's Florist in Willow Grove, PA, followed by retail positions with Abraham & Straus, and then Bloomingdales at the Willow Grove Park Mall. She completed her working career as an administrative assistant for Lakeside Youth Services in Ft. Washington, PA, retiring in 2006, after 20 years of service. Carole enjoyed her years of employment and made many life-long friendships with her co-workers.
Throughout her life, Carole was an active church member, volunteering her time and gifts in various ways. She served in the nursery at both Tabor Lutheran Church and Independent Bible Church of Willow Grove. As a member of Hilltown Baptist Church, she volunteered as a Sunday School teacher, coordinated the Visitation & Care Ministry, and served on the Missions Committee.
Carole was an avid gardener, who found great joy "digging in the dirt". She truly loved their property in Sellersville and spent many hours working in her gardens.
She had the gift of hospitality, and enjoyed cooking, baking, and entertaining family and friends over the holidays and for special occasions throughout the year. She was always eager to make a meal and provide a listening ear to anyone in need.
Carole loved children, taking an active role in the lives of her grandchildren and praying for them faithfully. She had a heart for people going through difficult times and found joy in encouraging others and praying for their needs. She was a Godly woman who was a wonderful example of God's love.
Over the past several years, Carole served as the primary caregiver for her husband, Fred, lovingly and faithfully caring for his needs in their home. Her love and encouragement continued once Fred moved to the Lutheran Community at Telford.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her son, Fred (Renee) Raupp of Denver, PA; her two daughters, Susan (Mark) Davis of Guadalajara, Mexico, Cindy (Steve) Lackner of Perkasie, PA; her seven grandchildren, Freddy (Hannah) Raupp, Hannah (Drew) Oller, Lauren (Dylan) Gehr, Sarah Davis, Esther Davis, Josh Lackner, Jessie Lackner; her great-granddaughter, Korie Gehr; and her brother, Fred (Pat) Seabright, Jr.
