Caryn spent many years working for Hollywood Studios in California before relocating to Colorado. She loved spending time with her family, going to church, cooking and playing cribbage. She relocated to Lamar in July of 2018 where she made many friends, developed very close relationships and became very active within her community. She loved going to church, participating in bible studies, crafting, community luncheons and many other activities. Caryn always had a smile on her face and had a gift of making others smile as well. She genuinely cared about everyone. Her dog Chloe meant the world to her and they were great companions for many years.
Per Caryn’s request in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lamar Area Hospice either direct or in care of the funeral home office.
Services are under the direction of the Peacock Family.
