Carole Anne Biegen

Albany-Carole A. Biegen of Albany, New York: On February 10, 2014 we sadly said goodbye to Carole A. Biegen, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, wife and friend, as she entered into eternal life surrounded by her family. Carole was born in Union City, NJ, on May 29, 1941, and was daughter to the late Anthony & Madeleine Biegen. She joins her parents and her brothers Tony, Vincent and John, brother-in-law Edwin McAdam, nephew John and niece Patti with our Lord. Carole is survived by her devoted three children and their spouses, Maria & John Semenick of Ravena, NY; Michael & Jill Macarilla of Duxbury, VT and Michelle & Kevin Reynolds of Windermere, Fl., as well as her by her siblings Jean McAdam; Francis (Bernice); Quentin (Anne) Biegen and sister-in-law Marcy Biegen. Carole graduated from St. Dominic’s Academy in Jersey City, NJ, attended college and started her career at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany. After having her 3 children she returned to work at Community Health Plan and spent many years growing her career in the Marketing / Sales field. Her career continued with Kaiser Permanente and The United Way until her retirement in 2006. Carole was an active member of the community and had the uncanny ability to light up a room with her smile. Whether it was her time with PBS, Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of Commerce or Make a Wish Foundation, she was able to make great impact in the missions of these organizations. Carole’s retired life may have been cut short, but was filled with many happy memories of her grandchildren, close friends and family. She enjoyed entertaining, walking the mountains of her childhood home in the Catskills and strolling the beaches of Florida. Carole remarried in 2011 and is survived by her loving husband Clayton B. Johnson of Averill Park. A special thank you to all who have provided support to the family over these last several months. We love you all. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to be made to Make a Wish Foundation In Memory of Carole A. Biegen, 1 Mustang Drive, Cohoes, NY 12047. A Memorial Service will be held from 4-7pm at McVeigh Funeral Home, 208 North Allen Street, Albany, NY on Friday, February 21, 2014. A Memorial Celebration Mass will be held at 11am at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Albany, NY on Saturday, February 22.
