In Memoriam
Caroline Howard
Caroline Durham Howard, wife of Jeff Howard ’88, mother to Ian Brown and stepmother to Matthew ’14 and Kateri ’16 Sheber Howard, passed away on August 10, 2024, after a brief illness.
Caroline worked at Regis Jesuit from 2004 to 2022, teaching in the Social Studies and Fine Arts & Media Technology departments, serving as moderator for the Mock Trial and Model UN Clubs and engaging as an adult leader on multiple student retreats. During her tenure at RJ, she uplifted the experience of generations of students with her sharp wit, gift for spinning a yarn and deep care. Caroline had started teaching last spring at Xavier College Prep, a Jesuit high school in Palm Desert, California, where Jeff also serves as principal.
From Xavier College Prep:
"Like Batman and Robin, Jeff and Caroline were strongest together. Caroline clearly as the Batman and Jeff as her passionate, loyal and committed sidekick. They are a true example of God’s love in the lives of their family, friends, our community and most importantly, each other. Brilliant and compassionate, Caroline dedicated herself to serving others. As an attorney, she was a fierce federal public defender representing the hopeless. As a healer, she was a loving certified nurse’s aide working with the elderly. As a teacher, she was an inspiring mentor and educator. It was in this role that her special gift as a storyteller and talent for immediate connection with others shone most strongly. The number of lives she touched is incalculable."
A Memorial Mass for Caroline will be celebrated on Saturday, August 24 at 11:00 am in the Blessed Rupert Mayer Chapel at Regis Jesuit High School with a reception to follow. The Mass will also be livestreamed from this link on Regis Jesuit’s NFHS broadcast platform. Please note that you need to create a free account on NFHS to access the livestream.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to either Regis Jesuit High School, Xavier College Prep or Mullen High School—all three institutions where both Caroline and Jeff served together.
We invite current and former members of Regis Jesuit's faculty and staff to help with food at the reception by either signing up to bring something or contributing to help cover the cost via Regis Jesuit’s Venmo account @RegisJesuit. Please put ‘Caroline Howard Memorial’ in the comment section. The Howard family truly appreciates any support you can offer in this regard.
We join the prayers of the community of Regis Jesuit with yours for the repose of Caroline’s soul and the consolation of her family and all those who loved her. May she rest in peace.
