Born on March 21, 1952, Carolyn brought warmth and joy to everyone around her. She shared a long and loving marriage with her husband and best friend, Carl Klein, who survives her.

Carolyn was the proud mother of two children, Katie (Mark) and Scott (Meaghan), and the adored grandmother of three granddaughters, Sylvie, Lucy, and Wendy. She is also survived by her older sisters, Eula (Fred) and Martha (Robin). Her family was the center of her world.

Known for her passion for cooking, Carolyn perfected recipes and was the "chef" of the family. She was deeply involved in her children's schools during their younger years, volunteering her time and energy to support their education and activities. An avid animal lover, she spoiled her pets, and she will now be happily reunited with her beloved poodle, Homer.

No funeral services will be held, per Carolyn's wishes. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Carolyn's honor.

She will be deeply missed, but her family will cherish her memories forever—the laughter shared around her table, her kindness, and her sharp sense of humor.
