Carolyn Louise Bartlett (Nanny) passed away peacefully at home on June 15, 2018. Carolyn was born in Springfield, Ohio on November 10, 1933 to Helen and John Woodyard. She attended Ohio State University High School which filled her with memories and friendships to last a lifetime. Carolyn was passionate about ballet all through her high school years. She then began a career as an airline stewardess where she met her first husband William Weiland, who was a pilot for National Airlines. Together they had two children, Charles and Sandra.
Carolyn was widowed in 1961 and eventually settled in Tyler, Texas where she met her second husband, Silas C. Bartlett, Jr. In 1966 they married and moved to Houston where they were longterm residents. Carolyn’s third child, Tina Lynn Bartlett was born in 1970.
Carolyn worked for Texas Cardiology Associates of Houston managing their office for 25 years. She retired at the age of 65 and spent the rest of her years being Nanny to her five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, who were by far the greatest joys of her life.
She is survived by her daughter Sandy Bond and husband Sam of Cypress; Tina Tise and husband Steve of Katy; her grandchildren, Ashley O’Brion and husband Jimmy of Raymond, Maine, Amber Lane and husband Pat of Cypress; Caleb, Kylie, and Kendall Tise of Katy. Carolyn was also blessed with 5 great-grandchildren; Cadence, Jack, and Jesse O’Brion of Raymond, Maine, and Samuel and Emmanuel Lane of Cypress.
Carolyn is preceded in death by her two husbands, Bill and Silas; her mother Helen; her brother Bill; and her son Charles (Chuck). She also recently lost her beloved golden retriever companion Bliss.
Carolyn made a joyful impression on everyone she met. Her smile and cheerful disposition welcomed all who met her. Carolyn loved the Lord as passionately as she loved her family. She was a student of the Bible and covered her family and friends weekly with prayer. She will be missed dearly.
Carolyn’s funeral will take place on Friday, June 29th at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home.
Visitation with the family will begin at 9, the service will be held at 10, and we will have a reception immediately following. Donations can be made to IETF (Essentialtremor.org).
