Carole Ann Tegnander
February 17, 2006
Carole Ann Tegnander, (nee Ramsey) passed away at her beloved “home on the Lake” on Friday, February 17, 2006, following a long and courageous battle against ovarian cancer. She was surrounded by her husband, Richard, son Brian, and daughter-in-law Lynn. Carole was 60 years old.
The daughter of the late Frank “Jack” and Marguerite Ramsey, she was born Jan 29, 1946 and raised in Valley Stream, NY. Here she met and married
her husband, Richard J. Tegnander. They continued to live and work on Long Island until 2002 when after retiring they moved to Rock Hill, N.Y. to be closer to their son and his family.
People who knew Carole saw she had an easy smile, was always up beat regardless of the pain she endured from two crushing illnesses. She lived her life by the motto, “NEVER QUIT.” In 1990 after 10 years of undiagnosed suffering she was found to have late stage Lyme Disease. She endured years of painful treatment but remained active throughout the ordeal, yet in spite of her own suffering she summoned the strength to co-found the Long Island Lyme Association (LILA). She helped run support groups meetings, gave educational seminars, and even testified before the US Senate Health Commission in Washington DC and various N. Y. S. Committees to help raise awareness of Lyme Disease. She was compassionate towards those with Lyme and a staunch advocate for reform of our health insurance system, which was often at odds with those needing treatment. When Carole was first diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2001 she met it head on, seeking aggressive treatment. As with Lyme Disease she became outspoken in her attempt to raise public awareness and funding for research into this, “silent killer” which takes the lives of thousands of women each year.
In spite of her health issues she managed to enjoy life. She and her husband often traveled with a small group of friends, she called the Cruise Crew. An avid animal lover she was known to stop traffic on busy roads to rescue a stray dog or cat giving them shelter and a chance for a better life. At one point she had as many as 3 dogs and five cats in their small cape style home on Long Island. However, in the 60 years of her life she will be remembered as a loyal and loving wife, a joyful and caring friend, and devoted mother and grandmother. While dealing with the pain of countless surgeries and chemo-therapies she found great joy and satisfaction in having seen her son successful in his career, married
to a beautiful and loving wife who Carole loved as if she were her own daughter, and most especially being a doting grandmother.
She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Richard J. Tegnander; a son: Brian Joseph and his wife Lynn Tegnander of Jeffersonville; grandchildren: Allison, Sean, Morgan; and several cousins.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, February 19 from 2-4 and 7-9pm at the VanInwegen-Kenny, Inc. Funeral Home, 401 Broadway in Monticello.
Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, February 20 at 10:00am at St. George’s Church in Jeffersonville.
