Published in Appleton Post-Crescent on July 1, 2012 Caroline Mary Sullivan (Kalista), age 94, of Appleton, died peacefully on Saturday, June 30, 2012 at Brewster Village in Appleton. She was born on August 17, 1917 in Kaukauna, to Charles J. and Mary C. (Shuber) Kalista. Caroline graduated from Kaukauna High School, Oshkosh State Teachers College, and UW-Whitewater. On June 5, 1943 she married then First Lieutenant John A. Sullivan (Army Air Corps) at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Kaukauna. They spent almost one year together, before he was redeployed to the World War II European front. On December 5, 1944, Major Sullivan, a squadron commander and fighter pilot of the Eighth Air Force in England was forced down over the North Sea on a return trip from a mission to Berlin, Germany. His body was never recovered. They had one daughter, Carol A. Sullivan. Caroline taught in Brussels, Wisconsin, Oshkosh, and then for many years at Appleton West and East High Schools while raising her daughter. At Appleton West, she was an advisor for the Clarion yearbook. Part way through her teaching career she earned her Master's degree at UW-Madison in business education. When Appleton East opened, she transferred there and established and managed a Cooperative Education program for business students until her retirement. Caroline loved nature. Her favorite place was her cottage in the woods in northern Wisconsin. She bought the land and designed the cottage, which has been a gathering place for family and friends for many years. After her retirement, Caroline enjoyed travel with her sister Mary Ann, her daughter Carol, and friends. For a time, she spent winters in Florida with her sister. She was a volunteer at St. Elizabeth Hospital and St. Mary Catholic Church in Appleton and was a member of Catholic Daughters. Among her many accomplishments, Caroline was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, godmother, teacher, Girl Scout leader, and neighbor.
