Carolyn Grace Breunich

Her parents, Richard B. and Isabelle G. (Magoon) Smith, welcomed their daughter into the world on September 18, 1944, in Keene, NH. Carolyn grew up in Keene and was a 1963 graduate of Keene High School.

She worked for twenty-five years in production control with MPB Corporation in Keene.

Carolyn was an avid gardener as well as showing her artistic side through the many crafts she enjoyed creating. She enjoyed her many adventures to the beaches in Maine.

Carolyn loved animals of all kinds, and felt that God gave them to us as a special gift. She and her husband, Rich, fostered well over a hundred animals for the Humane Society, as well as rescuing several wild animals.

Carolyn is survived by her husband of thirty-one years, Richard C. Breunich, of Gilsum; her son, John Hawley and his wife, Cathy, of Marlborough, NH; five grandchildren; a step-son, Al Breunich of Milford, NH; a step-daughter, Sharon Breunich, of Manchester, NH; two brothers, Charles Smith and his wife, Sharon, of Springfield, VT, Frank Smith of Keene; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members. Three sisters, Ellen Needham, Mildred O’Brien, and Isabelle Gonsalves, predeceased Carolyn.

Services and burial in the Centennial Cemetery, Gilsum, will be held privately by the family.
