Carol M. Klinetob
Carol M. Klinetob, 72, of Macungie, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 1, 2022, after a decline from Alzheimer's disease. Carol was born in
Glen Lyon, PA on December 18th, 1949, to the late Nello and Evelyn Roke. She graduated from Newport Township High School in 1967, and then received a BS in Medical Terminology at Wilkes College. Carol and her husband, Carl Klinetob, were married on April 18th, 1972. After staying at home to raise their three children, she then decided to pursue her long-desired goal of becoming a nurse. Carol graduated from St. Luke's School of Nursing in Bethlehem in 1999, receiving her BSN and MSN shortly thereafter.
Carol was an active member of New Covenant Christian Community Church. She was devoted to her faith and found a deep joy in being with her church community, as well as in spending time with her children and grandchildren, her many friends, and the numerous patients she passionately cared for during her time as an oncology nurse.
