Carol Trapp
April 1939 – March 2025
Carol Trapp
Carol was born in Minnesota and moved with her parents to Kirkland, Washington when she was a year old. They moved to Oregon for six years when Carol was in elementary school, moving back to Kirkland where she finished her last three years of school at Lake Washington High School. She met her husband Gary while in high school and they married in 1958.
She and Gary lived for a time in Renton, then back to Kirkland, while raising a son and daughter. After Gary passed in 1985, Carol lived in Woodinville for 30+ years and recently moved back to Kirkland.
Carol retired from Borden Chemical in 1999 after a 24-year career, where she developed many life-long friendships. During her career she traveled across the US, Canada, England and worked in Melbourne, Australia for two months.
She had a passion for traveling and in addition to work travel, she travelled extensively for pleasure, visiting 27 countries and most of the United States. Carol enjoyed playing golf and bridge and after retiring she volunteered at Evergreen Hospital for 20 years.
Carol is survived by her daughter Cathy Olson, son-in-law Randy, granddaughter Kaitlyn Seda, grandson-in-law Robert and great-grandson Connor. She was preceded in death by her husband Gary in 1985 and her son Brian in 2011.

Cathy, Randy and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I always loved visits with your Mom. May Carol rest in peace.
Love, Becky and David Lawrence
I’m sad to say the final goodbye to my friend Carol. We had many great times together, trips, Friday nights happy hour and in agreement that that the jokes about “getting old “ weren’t so funny.
Hugs for you. My deepest sympathy for your family. Hold all the good memories close to your hearts.

Very sad news. I met Carol more than 40 years ago when I started my job at Borden Chemical. I worked with her in the accounting department. She was a supportive and caring person. We stayed in touch over the years for which I am thankful for. Wishing her peace and hoping your memories help you, Kathy and family, get thru this difficult time. Sending you all hugs and my sympathy.
Thank you for sharing these precious photos with us. Love them!
