Carolyn A (Knuth) Gupta

She was born on July 8, 1945 in Minot, North Dakota, to Charles and Lizzie Knuth. Carolyn was the youngest of 8 children and loved her big family. She had four sisters and 3 brothers. She was raised on the family farm in Balfour, North Dakota. She attended a country school and then headed to Minot, ND with her sister to attend junior high and high school.

In 1965, at the age of 19, she jumped in her Aunt Gertie’s car and headed to California. It was an adventure of a lifetime. It was here in California that she met Dalip Gupta. They married on December 7, 1974, settled down in San Gabriel, CA, and had two children (daughter Anju and son Eric).

Carolyn never lost her love for North Dakota and would take trips out there for family reunions. She loved her family so much and held them in a special place in her heart. She touched the lives of so many with her unwavering faith in Christ. She was a devoted wife, caring and loving mother and grandmother, sister and wonderful friend.

Carolyn is survived by her husband Dalip Gupta, son Eric Gupta, daughter Anju (Jerico) Farfan, grandson Mason Farfan, sister Videll Kubler, and a large extended family of brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (https://cholangiocarcinoma.org) in her memory. It is our family’s hope that the money donated can find more effective therapies and even a cure for this rare cancer.
