Carol Lynn Talyczak

Carol Lynn Talyczak, age 73, of Little River, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2025. Born on June 6, 1952, in Newark, New Jersey, Carol was a daughter of the late John Ray Ryerson and Louise Pelham Ryerson.

Carol was a devoted mother to her daughters, Kim Jones (Justin) and Tracy Kerr (James), and a cherished Nana to her grandchildren: Katelynn Tompkins (Cole), Breanna Strickland, Levi Kerr, and Isla Kerr. Her love extended to her great-grandchildren, Maclan Tompkins and Nolan Tompkins, who brought her immense joy.

She is also survived by her siblings, Louise Buskey, George Ryerson, and Jim Ryerson. Carol was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Sue Piscitello, and her brothers Jack Ryerson, Billy Ryerson, and Roy Ryerson.

Carol found joy in the simple pleasures of life—cooking and baking, especially during the holidays, reading, gardening, and taking walks on the beach. Her proudest moments were spent supporting her grandchildren in their many activities, including dance, chorus, baseball, softball, and football. Her unwavering encouragement and presence will be deeply missed.

Carol’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her warmth, kindness, and devotion to family will be remembered always.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date by the family.

Lee Funeral Home and Crematory of Little River is serving the family.
