On March 14, 2020, Carol Elaine Capansky Wilson Rohrbaugh received her heavenly mission. She was born on May 21, 1943 in Hardtner, Kansas to Harold Albert and Christine Elizabeth Susan Malaby Capansky. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Dale a/k/a "Doc" Rohrbaugh, her children, Douglas Rohrbaugh and Rhonda Hebert, and her brother, Edwin Capansky. She is survived by her five children, Kevin Wilson and wife Cindy, Kameron Wilson and wife Regina, Tamara Green and husband Chad, Scott Rohrbaugh, and Ginger Smith; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her brother, Alvin Capansky and wife Sharon; sister-in-law, Patricia Capansky; sister-in-Law, LaDonna Rice and husband Charles; and innumerable nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.
Carol was raised in Medicine Lodge, Kansas where she attended school and married Rodney "Jim" Wilson on July 2, 1960. They made their home in the community of Lookout, Oklahoma. During the early years of marriage and motherhood she cultivated many skills of cooking, sewing, gardening, canning, crocheting, quilting, knitting, ceramics, and fishing. In 1976, a tenacious, determined single mother moved to Oklahoma City where she worked a multitude of jobs and met Dale "Doc" Rohrbaugh who convinced her to go fishing. Not only were the fish biting that day, but the love bug struck, and on August 5, 1977, she married him, and in 1980, they made their home in Yukon, Oklahoma. Carol continued her education while working a paralegal position and obtained her Bachelor's and Master's Degree at the University of Central Oklahoma. She began a career as a social worker with the State of Oklahoma Department of Human Services and found her true passion as Adult Protective Services Supervisor where she was a strong advocate for the elderly. She retired in 2006, and in her retirement years she was able to pursue her love of crafts, cooking and her husband until his death in March of 2017.
Upon her diagnosis with terminal cancer, she expressed to Tamara, "Well kid, cancer may take my life, but it will never take my soul, my faith, or my love for all you kids."
Carol loved God, her children, her husband, family, friends, Elvis, diamonds, red cars, a cold beer and a cigarette and always had a "project" in the works. She will be remembered for her strong determination, control, directness, her ability to "not pussyfoot around" and her mashed potatoes.
She was loved by many and will be missed immensely but never forgotten. "If I had a flower for every time, I thought of you…. I could walk through my garden forever" – Alfred Tennyson
