Carolyn Ann Haag

Carolyn Haag (Burkhard) was born in Zanesville, Ohio and moved to San Pasqual, California at age 8, with her family. She attended Escondido High School and Dominican College in San Rafael, where mutual friends introduced her to her future husband, Frank Haag. After marriage, due to Frank’s military assignment, the pair moved to Alamogordo, NM and eventually to Alaska, Eielson AFB, until the conclusion of his enlistment. The couple moved to San Jose, Ca where Carolyn continued her 28 year career with the telephone company.

As a result of Carolyn’s mother’s passing, Frank and Carolyn moved to San Diego in the early 1970’s. Carolyn, her sister Jeanette, and their husbands, helped raise the sisters' three brothers, Charles, Jerome, and Justin Burkhard.

In 1974, Carolyn and Frank moved to Loma Portal, where they met friends who became family, raised their daughter, Carlen, and became an active member of the St. Charles Borromeo community. When not working, the couple volunteered their time with the Red Cross, Great Oaks Village, March of Dimes, and the Senior Volunteer Patrol. Carolyn was a member of the Altar Society, the St. Charles' Women's group, a weekly prayer group with friends, and a monthly Bunco Club.

In her passing, Carolyn leaves behind not only her beloved family, but her three greatest joys, her grandchildren, Shane, Sydney, and Gracie.

Carolyn touched countless lives while on this earth, and her memory will be carried on for generations to come. A Memorial Mass and Celebration of Life, will be held at 10 am on Wednesday, July 12th at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Point Loma, 2802 Cadiz St, San Diego, Ca 92110
