Mary Caroline Wright Erb

July 18, 1930 – February 2, 2019

Caroline was born in Los Angeles, CA the oldest of 2 daughters born to Earl and Irene Wright.  She married Bud Tremaine in Las Vegas, NV, 12-24-1949.  They had 3 children while living in Southern California area.  She later married the love of her life, Bob Erb, in Fullerton, CA, 10-14-1959. Bob was raising his 3 children so with Caroline's 3 children they lived together as a family much like the Brady Bunch.  The family moved up to Paradise, CA in 1962.  There they raised the 6 kids on an apple orchard that Caroline managed while being a stay at home mom.  When they retired, they enjoyed traveling the western United States in their camper before settling in Apache Junction, AZ.

Caroline was an avid sewer and quilter, making quilts for her children, grandchildren, and baby quilts for many of her great grandchildren.  Love for travel led her to live in California, Arizona, South Carolina and finally in Idaho and Washington to be near her family.

She was a member of the Happy Agers in Priest River, enjoyed the quilters group at the Senior Center and was a member of TOPS in Newport.

Caroline is survived by children Lisa Gibson (Dan) of Reno, NV, Cyndi Wylie (Les) of Priest River, ID, Bill Tremaine of Newport, WA, Rob Erb of San Diego, CA, Madelyne Carlson (Dan) of Paradise, CA, and daughter in law Kris Erb of Rogue River, OR.  She also has many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.  She is preceded in death by her husband, Bob, son Gary Erb, her parents and sister, Ellen.

No services will be held at this time.  Her final wish was for her and Bob's ashes to be scattered in the ocean going out to Catalina Island, a place they both enjoyed together.

Family would like to thank the Newport Hospital Long Term Care staff for the loving and caring support the last year of her life.
