Dianne Karolski

Dianne Karolski, age 75 of Royal Oak, Michigan passed away on December 5, 2023. She was born on August 31, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan. She was an only child and predeceased by her parents Frank and Wanda Dubiel. Dianne was the beloved wife of Thomas Karolski for 52 years and doting mother to sons, David and Martin (Emily); a loving friend to sister-in-law, Linda Karolski (surviving spouse of Fred); favorite aunt to Kenny and Jeffrey Karolski and their families. She is also survived by many favorite cousins, prayer partners and close friends. An avid reader and crocheter, she leaves not only her love for her family and friends but also the memories of special times together and travels to interesting places. Dianne loved her faith and the comfort she found in having Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Active in all phases of parish life at St. Vincent Ferrer Parish in Madison Heights, she will be remembered as a stalwart prayer partner and healing intercessor. Heaven has welcomed one of our earthly angels; friends take comfort in knowing that she is now without pain and will continue to intercede for us. Dianne loved gifting babies with her handiwork and spent many hours planning colors and patterns for the baby blankets that were made with so much love. Her Kindle and bookshelf overflowed with all the books, mostly mysteries that she so loved to read. She recently found joy in donating those previously read books to the local nursing home. Through all her volunteer activities and interests, her love story was always about her husband and partner, Tom and her sons, David and Martin. They were in all situations, her life!
