Carole Jean Delaney

Carole Jean Delaney passed peacefully on December 28, 2017. She is survived by cousins in Texas and by long-time friends in Sacramento. She was strongly influenced by her musician father Harry and mother Ernestine Delaney in Lubbock, Texas. Carole held Bachelor, Master and Doctorate degrees in Music Education from The University of Texas, Austin. After graduation, she taught Music Education majors at California State University, Fresno, then joined the faculty at California State University, Sacramento. In addition to teaching/supervising Music Education students, she served as Coordinator of Music Education and Coordinator of Graduate Studies in the Music Department. She retired in 2000. In addition to her love of teaching, she was passionate about performing. Between 1990 and 2003 Carole arranged and performed in numerous public events with a colleague in the Music Department and with colleagues in the Theatre Department, for example "On the Town", "Vital Signs", "Jumbo", "Talent to Amuse", and "Got to Sing". Carole also loved traveling and adored her dogs. Her friends and family are grateful to the staff at Revere Court for their wonderful care and compassion.
