Carolyn A. McLaughlin
READFIELD – Carolyn A. McLaughlin, 81, of North Wayne Road died peacefully on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, with her loving family by her side.
Carolyn was born in Augusta on Feb. 16, 1944, the daughter of the late Clyde A. and Barbara (Chase) Barry. She attended local schools and graduated from Cony High School in the class of 1962.
Going right to work out of high school, Carolyn worked for Depositors Trust Bank for several years before going to work for the State of Maine as clerk typist. She retired from the State of Maine after a twenty-six-year career.
Being known for having an immaculate house, Carolyn loved to clean. She was an excellent cook; however, she would admit she didn’t really like to cook. Her greatest enjoyment came from being outdoors, especially when she was spending time in the Rangely Lake Region or Ocean Point in Pemaquid with her family. Whether on a long stroll or watching birds, Carolyn loved being with nature.
Carolyn was predeceased by her loving husband, Paul F. McLaughlin; a granddaughter, Brooke D. McLaughlin; a brother, Clyde Barry Jr. She is survived by a son, Daniel McLaughlin of Readfield; a granddaughter, Katelynn McLaughlin of Readfield; a great granddaughter, Lillyahna McLaughlin of Readfield; a special cousin, Dr. Charles E. Brown of Naples; special friend, Sarah Hatlemark at the Winthrop Veterinary Hospital.
Upon Carolyn’s wishes there will be no services. Arrangements and guidance are in the care of Roberts Funeral Home and Cremation Care, 62 Bowdoin Street, Winthrop, ME. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family on the obituary page of the Roberts Funeral Home website http://www.KHRFuneralHomes.com.
