She was born September 26, 1929 in Waltham, Massachusetts to John Chisholm and Myrtis Emerson Wroe. Caroline completed her schooling in Waltham before attending the New England Conservatory of Music as a voice major. Loving, kind, thoughtful and considerate she never hesitated to give of herself in the care and concern for others. She loved all living things without exception but gardening was her first love.

II and wife Cynthia Lynn, Dana Wroe , Joel Breckinridge, her brother John C. Wroe of Apple Valley, California; and two gandchildren, Allison and Kyle.
