Carolyn Wheeler Langford

Carolyn was born June 24, 1938 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Kirkland and Lucille (Gates) Wheeler. She was one of two children, both girls.

She married Ron Langford in 1957 and they had two children, Kim (Langford) Petersen now living in Bremerton, Washington and Kirk Langford who lives in Castine, Maine. Carolyn was a homemaker and also attended North Central College, while raising her family, to complete her Bachelor’s degree in Education. She taught Spanish in public school for a short time.

Ron and Carolyn lived in Illinois for about 40 years and moved to Washington 25 years ago to be closer to her daughter and her family. She would tell you that a highlight of her life was when the grandchildren started coming into the family. She had four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with another on the way. She truly adored them all.

She loved the outdoors and could be found enjoying two of her favorite activities, hiking and kayaking, as often as possible. She was a member of Adventure of Faith Church in Port Orchard; her faith was very important to her and gave her strength.

She went home to be with the Lord on October 24, 2020 surrounded by loved ones. A private gathering will be held at a later date. Please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
