Carolina Sue Simpkins Dezzutti Obituary (1966 - 2023)

Carolyn Sue Simpkins-Dezzutti, born on March 22, 1966, in Morgantown, WV, was a beacon of love and generosity to everyone who knew her. On December 23, 2023, at the age of 57, Carolyn passed away in Baltimore, MD, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and faith that will continue to inspire those she touched. Carolyn's early years in Morgantown were filled with the bustling energy of a large family. She was one of nine siblings who shared an unbreakable bond shaped by laughter, support, and enduring love. Though her father, Glenn Harold Simpkins, her mother, Etta Mae Tripplett, and her siblings Betty, Pearl, Sharon, Roger, and Tom preceded her in death, their influence on Carolyn's compassionate nature was profound and lasting. Her spirit is carried on by her remaining sister Linda and Earl McCabe, and brothers Ronnie and Patricia Simpkins, and John and Tammy Simpkins. Carolyn's most cherished role, however, was that of a mother and grandmother. Her children, Christy Alt, Chris and Ashley Alt, and Stephanie Meci, along with her adored grandchildren Ayana, PJ, Bailey, David, Brighton, Layla, Meci Nevaeh, and Miah, were the center of her universe. Each of them was touched by her loving care, her unwavering support, and her ability to make every moment special. Professionally, Carolyn's nurturing disposition found its place in the hearts of the children she assisted as a teacher's assistant for the Board of Education. Her passion for helping others extended into her work as a cosmetologist, where she made countless individuals feel beautiful both inside and out. Carolyn was also a dedicated caregiver, a role that allowed her to express her innate kindness and generous spirit fully. Beyond her professional endeavors, Carolyn's interests were simple yet deeply rooted in the joy of companionship. She relished the excitement of yard selling and shopping, finding treasures in the most unexpected places. But above all, the time spent with her loved ones was what she valued most. Her presence at family gatherings was a source of comfort and joy, and her laughter was the melody that set the rhythm of their lives. Carolyn lived her faith, and it was evident in her every action. She approached life with a heartfelt belief in the goodness of others and the importance of giving without expectation of return. Her faith-filled life was an inspiration to all, and her loving nature left a mark on every soul she encountered. In describing Carolyn, one would be hard-pressed to find words that capture her essence more accurately than loving, generous, and faith-filled. She had an extraordinary ability to see the best in people, to lift them up when they were down, and to spread kindness like a soothing balm. As we bid farewell to Carolyn Sue Simpkins-Dezzutti, we do so with hearts full of gratitude for the time we were gifted with her presence. Her memory will be treasured as a reminder of how one person's love can ripple through the lives of many. Carolyn's radiant smile, her gentle touch, and her unwavering commitment to her family will be deeply missed but never forgotten. As the sun sets on her time with us, we take solace in knowing that Carolyn's legacy will continue to shine brightly in the lives of those she loved. Her journey on earth has ended, but the love she shared will continue to guide and comfort us all. May she rest in peace, enveloped in the boundless love she so freely gave during her time among us.
