Carolyn Eleanore Lawler

Carolyn E. Lawler, a beloved mother, wife, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 26, 2025, at the age of 83 in Antelope, CA. Born on September 18, 1941, in Illinois, Carolyn lived a life characterized by love, kindness, and dedication to her family and community.

Throughout her life, Carolyn's Christian faith guided her actions and interactions with others. She was a moderately religious person who found strength and comfort in her beliefs, which she shared with her family and friends. Her warm heart and understanding nature were a testament to her faith and touched all who knew her.

Carolyn's greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted mother to her sons, Larry, Richard, and Chris Hinckley, and cherished her role as a guiding force in their lives. She was preceded in death by her parents, but her legacy continues through her children and the countless others who were fortunate enough to call her "Aunt Carol."

In addition to her dedication to her family, Carolyn had a successful career spanning over three decades as an office manager and systems trainer for Kmart Corp. Her professionalism and commitment to excellence made her an invaluable asset to her colleagues and a mentor to many.

After retiring, Carolyn dedicated her time to visiting family and friends, ensuring that she remained a constant presence in their lives. Known for her thoughtful gestures, she never missed an opportunity to send a card for holidays, birthdays, or any memorable event, bringing joy and warmth to every occasion.

Carolyn is survived by her loving husband, J.R. Lawler, and her sons, Larry, Richard, and Chris Hinckley. While no services will be held at this time, a celebration of life is being planned for early summer, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember the remarkable life she led. Details of this event will be shared in due course.

In remembering Carolyn, we celebrate a life well-lived, marked by love, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to those she held dear. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were touched by her kindness and generosity.
