The Lord, in His infinite mercy, took home our beloved wife, mother and grandmother on January 26, 2025, after a short illness, in her 81st year. Carolyn was beloved soul mate and wife of Lambert for 57 years. She was the loving Mom of Mark and his wife Ainsley Otten and Susan and her husband Kevin Kerfoot. She was blessed to look after her two wonderful grandsons, Henry and Ted Otten, during their preschool years and enjoyed them ever since.
She was happy to welcome her step-grandchildren, Griffin Kerfoot, Madelyn and Hannah McIntosh a couple of years ago. Carolyn leaves behind her sisters Barbara McKinnon (the late Allan), Jean Adams, (the late Wayne and the late Cliff) and Esther (Bob) Moore, and brother Douglas (Diane) Sayles. She also leaves behind her brother-in-law, Cope Otten (late Gwyneth), brother-in-law Jim Gardner, and sister-in-law Sherry (Joe) Gibbons. She will be missed by several nieces and nephews, several of whom had a close relationship with her. Predeceased by her parents Clarence and Mae Sayles (nee Harris), sister Donna Jarvis (the late Doug) and sister-in-law Grace Gardner. Carolyn was a compassionate, caring godly woman who taught her children and grandchildren the importance of faith and family. She had faith in the promise of eternal life through her Lord and Saviour. Carolyn was the first one to offer a helping hand, lend a listening ear, offer support and loved spending hours catching up with friends and family. In addition to the family, she will undoubtedly be missed by her many close friends. Friends and family may call at Wm. Kipp Funeral Home 184 Grand River St. N. Paris on Monday, February 03, 2025, from 10-11 am, followed by a service in the Funeral Home Chapel at 11. A private family interment will take place at Paris Plains Cemetery.
