(wife Alyssa), Santa Fe; Jeremy Witte (fiancé Sage Peterson), Washington, DC, and her granddaughter Jennifer Witte, Las Cruces. And if her grandkids were the light of her life, her great-grandkids put her over the moon. They are Brayden and Kaleigh Grace Swain, Pearland, and Addyson Swain from Cartersville. She is also survived by her brother Danny Kloss and his wife Carol, Lemitar, who she loved spending time with at the farm and playing practical jokes on each other. She was also fond of her nieces and nephews. Carolyn had a great relationship with her extended family through her marriage with Dan Palmer. Surviving her are Suzanne Suzuki, Alan Mark Palmer and Sonja Barrera and their families. Carolyn lived life to the fullest and was happiest taking care of others, being at her mountain property, tending to her many plants, caring for any stray cat that happened through the area, enjoying her dogs, and fixing her special family tradition meals. She especially loved participating in the Central United Methodist Church Partnership Sunday School Class, where she had many longtime friends who were considered family. She was certainly an angel on earth and earned her wings many times over. This side of heaven is far better for the service to mankind that Carolyn gave and many will miss her. Due to current health related restrictions and to safeguard the health of family and friends, the family will conduct a memorial service at a later date when we can all gather to celebrate the life of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, aunt, sister, cousin and friend. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Brookdale Tramway Ridge for their dedicated care and compassion in taking care of Carolyn. They made sure family always had a way to connect during these times of isolation and truly put family first. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be given to Central United Methodist Music Fund. Editor’s Note: Email caren@aaalivestock.com. Memorial donations may be sent to the Cattlegrowers’ Foundation, a 501(c)3, tax deductable charitable foundation serving the rights of ranch families and educating citizens on governmental actions, policies and practices.
