Carolyne Marian Weil

Carolyne was born in Detroit, Michigan to Henry Anton Weil and Ruth Elizabeth Morris (Weil) on April 16, 1952. Moved with her family to New Jersey where she graduated from Toms River High School. She married Don Douglas on September 16, 1989 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Carolyne obtained her baccalaureate at Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania and in 1978 graduated with a Doctorate of Philosophy in Developmental Psychology from Peabody College at Vanderbilt University. A growing interest in psychotherapy led her to pursuing a post doctorate program at the University of Massachusetts followed by an internship at the Veterans Hospital in West Haven, Connecticut under the direction of the Yale School of Medicine resulting in her becoming a licensed clinical psychologist at Saint Francis Hospital, Hartford Connecticut in 1987. She relocated to Northern Virginia in 2005 with her husband and went into private practice until 2021. Over the years she enjoyed the admiration of her colleagues and the love of her patients. An avid photographer, she was never without her camera when traveling to favorite places such as Santa Fe, New Mexico; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Paris, France. A life long interest in the theater led to her support of the Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, and Shakespeare Theater in Washington, DC. Her support of Native American issues was demonstrated by her charter membership in the National Museum of the American Indian.

Carolyne is survived by her husband, Don Douglas of Springfield, Virginia; sister, Candace Tice of Wall, New Jersey; sister, Alison Brant of Toms River, New Jersey; brother, William Weil of Union, Maine; step-daughter, Penny Douglas Lock of Mesa, Arizona; Son-in-law, Greg Lock of Mesa Arizona; granddaughters, Tyler & Morgan Lock of Mesa, Arizona; along with several other cousins.

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic a celebration of her life will be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family request that a donation to the American Heart Association be made in Carolyne’s name.
