Obituary

On June 14, 2023 Claire Carolyn Kindon (nee Kohn) youngest of seven children born to Paul John and Kathryn Kohn passed away peacefully in her home in Lewes, Delaware at age 100. Carolyn's husband of 54 years, WWII veteran John J Kindon, predeceased her. She is survived by her sons, John (Gloria) of New York, Richard of California, and her nieces Karen Kohn and Susan Potts of Lewes, Delaware. She was also blessed with four grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Carolyn moved to Lewes in 2009. There she volunteered weekly with The Villages an organization that supports older community members to help them remain in their homes. She was awarded a plaque by Governor Carper for being the oldest volunteer in the state of Delaware! She continued to volunteer well into her nineties.

She was an active member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church where she was known as "Aunt Carolyn."  In addition to volunteering, she insisted on walking 3-4 miles daily and eating sensibly - habits she attributed to providing her a long life.

The family is grateful to her aides, Vivian, Kiera and Marian; the clergy of St. Peter's Church, and Delaware Hospice for the love, care and devotion they gave her.

Services will be private.

In lieu of flowers donations in her memory may donate to:

Capital Campaign, St. Peter's Church, 200 Second St., Lewes, DE 19958
