Carole A. Haug
Carole gave of herself freely, whether of her time, listening ear, or just a hug; no one ever left her presence feeling unwelcomed or unloved.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 409 Cherry Street, Columbia, PA 17512.
There will be no viewing, but the family will receive visitors from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
Carole A. Haug (Mams) passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Carole was a lifelong Columbia resident and the daughter of the late Dr. J. David Weinberg and the late Catherine (Pennock) Weinberg.
Carole spent 41 years as a third-shift switchboard operator at Lancaster General Hospital. Prior to that, she worked as a billing coder for Anesthesia Associates of Lancaster, a receptionist at her fathers medical office, and a packer for Susquehanna Glass. She was a faithful member of Holy Trinity Church and volunteered as the official paper cutter during the annual Fastnacht bakes. Through the years, she also served as a Brownie leader and volunteered at the Columbia Food Bank.
Carole enjoyed the summer Concert in the Park series in town and was the #1 fan of many of her childrens and grandchildrens extracurricular activities. Whether sports, theater, music, or anything in between, Mams supported everyone. Mams was well versed in many sports and most recently enjoyed seeing her Kansas City Chiefs trying for a Three-Peat Super Bowl!
Carole gave of herself freely, whether of her time, listening ear, or just a hug; no one ever left her presence feeling unwelcomed or unloved. Kindness and thoughtfulness were her greatest virtues. She became Mams to everyone she met. Many have been recipients of her giving spirit; Caroles belief was to give what she could, in some way, shape, or form; it was an investment in the recipients future. Her gifts were given secretly; she wanted no praise or recognition; she was a Secret Angel. She truly lived by the Golden Rule --- do unto others as they would do unto you.
Caroles greatest joy, however, is her family. She was the heart of our family and the glue that held us all together. While she always said she was just an ordinary person, she is the most extraordinary ordinary person we know. She is survived by her children, Lisa Kashner, Christine Sumpman, Stephen Haug (Karen), and Becky Murphy (Don); also surviving are her siblings, David (Mike) Weinberg (Joann), William Weinberg (Chris), and Stephanie Weinberg. Mams legacy also lives on in her 19 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren and beloved Puppy Girl, Sophie.
Carole is preceded in death by her parents, her grandparents, as well as her granddaughter Alicia Doran.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 10 AM at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 409 Cherry Street, Columbia, PA 17512. There will be no viewing, but the family will receive visitors from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
