Carolyn Ann Picerno Bushaw died Wednesday, October 12, 2011 after a long 
illness. 

She leaves her beloved sons Shane Michael Bushaw and Heath Jacob Bushaw, her 
much-loved grandson, Heath Jacob Bushaw, Jr., her only sister, Janet Irene 
Picerno Neff, niece, Kathleen Rae Neff, nephew, David Russell Neff and her 
dearest friend, Shay Hoffman.

Carolyn was born in Chicago, IL on August 11, 1950 to the late M. Irene and 
Salvatore P. Picerno. She grew up in Glen Ellyn, IL. As a young person she loved 
her friends, school, band, and riding horses. While at Glenbard West High School 
she became a Candy Striper and went on to earn her nursing degree at Iowa State 
University. She started her nursing career as a home health nurse in Iowa. She 
moved to Louisiana in 1982 and to Covington in 1984 where she has lived for the 
last 28 years. She held several nursing positions in New Orleans and most 
recently was a nurse at Lockhead Martin in 2002. She had a life-long love of 
horses and at one time volunteered to help children ride horses in a therapeutic 
setting. She was a devoted mother to her two loving sons and adored her 
grandson. She had a sweet and kind nature and will be deeply missed by her 
family and friends.

After cremation a memorial service will be held at a later date.
