Carolyn Kleinfelder McBeth (1942-2012) Richardson, TX and Dolton, IL
Carolyn Kleinfelder McBeth. Among God's most precious gifts, there was Carolyn. A true joy and blessing to everyone who knew her. Carolyn, of Richardson, TX, born Oct. 3, 1942 in Dolton, IL, passed away Jan. 16, 2012, from ovarian cancer. Preceded in death by her father and mother of Dolton, IL and Richardson, TX, Henry Kleinfelder in 1984 and Anna Kleinfelder in 2003, she is survived by her husband, Charles McBeth; son, Vincent Flowers; and step-daughters, Sydney McBeth and Suzy McBeth. Carolyn cherished her many friends, and kept her friends, from grade school in Dolton, from Thornton Township High School, from Chicago, Heights Grade School PTA, West Jr. High PTA, the Dallas Ski Club, Canyon Creek Country Club Tennis and others. A wonderful part of Carolyn's personality was captured in a recent birthday card that showed children frolicking in the spray of a lawn sprinkler, "Carolyn, you're a constant reminder of how fun life is supposed to be." Thank you, God, for Carolyn, and the fun life we had with her.
