Carolyn Beug Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 13, 2001.
Mama Bunny to the Rescue
To careful readers of the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Carolyn Beug was a force in the music business. She can be found in the Tributes section, just below Joey Ramone and just above Aaliyah. Mrs. Beug, who would have turned 49 yesterday, was the producer behind the video for Van Halen's "Right Now," which won an MTV Video Music Award for best video of 1992.

But to the girls' high school track team at home in Santa Monica, Calif., Mrs. Beug was something else: Mama Bunny. She raised money for track uniforms, led cheers at track meets, held track awards dinners in the backyard for a hundred or more people.

"She always called the kids on the team my little bunnies," recalled her husband, John Beug.

In 1998, she left the music industry to write a children's book. This year, she was finishing the editing of the book, about the story of Noah's Ark, told through the eyes of Noah's wife. But mostly she wanted to devote more time to Lauren and Lindsey, now 18, and Nicholas, 13.

In September, Mrs. Beug and her mother, Mary Alice Wahlstrom, helped settle the twins at the Rhode Island School of Design. The two women were flying back to California on American Airlines Flight 11 when their plane struck 1 World Trade Center.

All these years have passed since losing Carolyn and Mary.. and I did not know this page existed.. but it is wonderful to still read the kind comments and to 'meet' the people who have posted them.

Carolyn was my second cousin, and at five years my senior was just enough older than I to have the proverbial child's 'cousin crush' upon. Our families lived in northern Utah while growing up.. Carolyn in Logan and myself in Ogden.. so we did not see each other on a daily basis, which made the occasions of being together all that much more special. There was a little roadhouse cafe between our towns where our families would sometimes meet up to enjoy their famous pies and cakes, or occasional family gatherings at the Lagoon amusement park, and I always made a point of sitting next to Carolyn or walking by her side-- beaming so very proud to be seen with her. Everyone in Mary and Norman's family truly are awesome people to know and engage with.

I just now learned that Carolyn's husband, John, has passed away, nearly two years ago. Another awesome person. Regretful, how time escapes us.

There is nothing so sad.. yet more glorious.. than the changing of generations. So it is incumbent upon me.. all of us, really.. to keep our focus not only on our past associations; though intently on the current.. Lauren, Lindsey and Nick.. as they carry forward in legacy of those who graced and influenced us with their presence and love.

Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to be a part of this family.. and may peace and happiness be with everyone.

Today 9/9/23 remembering you Carolyn ... coming up on 22 years from when, senselessly, you and many others were striped of your life due to some extremely bad individuals ... We will never forget .. How can we forget that terrible day ? ... No words can be said that will ever make sense of such an act ... Carolyn, I only hope that your family and friends always share their life experiences in memory of you. With much regards ...

My thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn's family on this 10 year anniversary of 9/11. I did not know Carolyn but she came into my life the Sunday after this tragic day. Our church put all the names of the airline victims into a bowl and we were asked to pick a name and personally pray for them and their family. I have carried Carolyn's name in my wallet for a decade and it will be with me till my last day on earth. May God grant you peace.

I miss you, Carolyn. I have such wonderful memories of laughing and crying together. I wish we had more years. I wish we could have laughed through old age.

September 11, 2011

Feeling the pain of your loss even more today, on this 10th memorial of that fateful and tragic day. I lost two other friends from my home state NJ, as well as a firefighter relative. But it was your passing that hit me hardest, perhaps because of our entertainment industry relationship, and/or our short but profound personal relationship. God bless you and your beloved family.

I met Carolyn in 1990, I worked at Westside Childrn's Center in Santa Monica. she was always full of energy, positive and warm to all of us. She helped me as I transitioned out of non profit as a single mother, and gave me greet advice to follow my heart. I think of her often and pray for her family - I believe she is one of the brightest rays of sunshine that lights up our world from heaven.

Carolyn emanated a beautiful radiant light that came from her big, warm, loving heart and kind and compassionate soul. Although we met through work she welcomed me into her life & her home and soon became a confident and mentor. I think of her often and with respect, love and fondness and wish her and her mother had been anywhere but on that first plane on the morning of September 11th. My heart goes out to her children and to John. They have been and will always be in my prayers. I miss you Carolyn.

My prayers and thoughts are with the entire family and friends of Carolyn. I worked with Carolyn during her Disney days. I always enjoyed her warm, friendly and wonderful spirit and personality. She was so creative. While watching the 9/11 coverage My heart sank even lower the day I saw her name, along with her mother's name, as passengers. May God continue to heal you and give you peace.

Carolyn was a dear person to me. Even though I only knew her as a patient in the dental office I managed. She was always happy and friendly. She loved her family and was a very proud mother. I think of her every time 9/11 is mentioned. God has her in the palm of his hand.

To:The beautiful daughters of Carolyn.

My deepest condolences to you both for having to cope with such a trajic loss. I lost my mother when I was 11 and there is a missing link within me that will never be fulfilled until I see her again, but as time goes on you will muster the strength to cope because you know your mother would want that. I know your dad has took on the role of both parents and I am sure he is doing a great job at it. Continue to stick together, pray together and make Mommy proud. We still never forget. NEVER!!!!

Thinking of you dear carolyn, especially on this day, nine years after your passing.

I worked with and dated briefly this remarkable woman, whom I still cannot believe, died in such a tragic way. I also worked with her husband John on "We're All In The Same Gang" music video, years b efore they even met. He too, is a terrific guy, and the two made a wonderful couple. I met her twin daughters as well, and it saddens me to this day that they do not have her in their lives. I saw Carolyn last in her office at Disney. We had our last lunch that day too. I miss her, and I think of her often. God bless this wonderful and beautiful soul. Chip Miller (Director/Producer/Screenwriter)

Dear Lauren and Lindsay,

My mom just forwarded me the link to this site, and I don't even know if you guys ever check it, but it's the only way I know of to contact you. I know we haven't talked in a long time (just over seven years, to be exact), but I want you to know that I have never forgotten you and that you and your mom have always been in my thoughts and prayers. I loved her so much myself and losing her was such a shock to me that I didn't know how to cope or how to react, with the result that I wasn't there for you the way I should have been and we now haven't talked in all these years. I want to change that--if you get this message and you can find it in your hearts to do so, please email me (I think you can click on the link below to get my email address)--I would love to get back in touch. Either way, I want you to know that I cherish my memories of your mother and I think about her all the time. She was an amazing person and I was so blessed to know her and have her in my life. I miss you both and I am wishing you the best. You are always in my heart.

Love,

Alli

Hi. My name is Scott Scholes, and Carolyn Beug was niece to my grandfather, Robert Frederick Sheehan (Mary Alice's younger brother). Just about five minutes ago, he walked into my room showing me Carolyn's picture in a book entitled, "Portraits 9/11/01". "I haven't seen her since the 60s" he said. I remember the horrible day five years ago when his sister Ellen called him and gave him the news about their sister and her daughter. He subconsciously broods about it to this day. I guess he was really close to Mary Alice when they were growing up. I always wanted to meet my grandfather's side of the family. I know everyone else, but you guys are still a total mystery to me. Anyway, my sincerest condolences.

It's the fifth anniversary of 9/11. It is still unbearable to think of Carolyn's loss.



Carolyn joined our family 25 years ago. She reinvigorated the holidays with an electrifying charm that was hers alone.



When she brought Lauren and Lindsey into the world, she was the most delightful, young, big-sister kind of mom that I have ever seen. What a gal. I'll never forget her.



My cousins Lauren, Lindsey and Nick are always in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are all happy. You had a special mom.

I heard John Beug's interview on NPR, and my heart broke for this family. She seemed like such a lively person, and losing people like Carolyn is what makes this tragedy so horrible. To her family - I'm glad to hear you're still living like she would have had you do, and I keep you in my thoughts.

I was just thinking about Carolyn..I think about her quite often actually and I typed her name in "google" to see if her book was ever released. I used to work for Carolyn, tutoring Nikki afterschool everyday. Our tutoring sessions always ended with long chats in the kitchen while she prepared a healthy dinner for her girls. Carolyn was a fantastic woman and an excellent role model and I will forever be grateful for having known her.

Carolyn was always one of my favorite people, someone I loved and admired for her courage, compassion, strength and zeal for life. I know I will always remember her fondly.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of Carolyn Beug. While I did not know her, I did have the pleasure of becomming business "phone friends" with her husband while I was a receptionist for a small production company called VPI in New York City in 1991. While browsing through the CNN memorial page I came across the familiar last name and was horrified to read that there was a relation to her husband John. I'm sure you don't remember me at all, but my prayers go out to you and your family. God bless you.

Almost a year ago, my church was handing out bracelets bearing victims' names from the 9/11 tragedies. I received Carolyn's. She, along with you, her family, have been in my thoughts and prayers. Just recently, I've been able to be on-line and on 9/11/02 was able to read more about Carolyn. She must have been a very beautiful person and my heart goes out to you even more knowing you lost not only your wife and mother, but her mother as well. Please accept my sincerest sympathies and know that you remain in my prayers. God bless you.

Dearest Lauren and Lindsey,

You do not remember me, but I am a distant cousin of yours and I used to watch you two frolicking around the pool at Lydia and Eli Friedlich's house in Encino when you two were about 5 years old. I don't think Nicky was even born yet. My mother, Vivian, and your father, Michael, are first cousins. My deepest sympathies go out to you both and to Nicky and to your fathers, Michael Mayer and John Beug.

I have been thinking about you all since a year ago when I witnessed the tragedy here in New York where I live. I volunteered for about a month last fall at the Pier, where many families of the victims went for support, and there were many many moments when the profound sadness and feelings of helplessness in the face of so much grief nearly overwhelmed me, like so many others. At those moments, I would think about these two matching adorable little girls I knew so long ago and their beautiful, bubbly, spirited, and strong mother (Carolyn struck me then--I was in college--as the kind of woman I would someday hope to become) and remembering you would encourage me to continue to provide whatever small comfort I could to the surviving children, parents, siblings, fiances and spouses I greeted at the family assistance center. Just knowing that these two sweet little girls I once knew were (and still are) going through this unimaginably difficult experience has made me want to continue to help in whatever way I can, and the experience of working with these incredibly strong people will be with me always.

I am so sorry for your loss and can only say that although I did not know your mother well back then, she struck me as an incredibly determined woman who loved life and wherever she is now, I am sure she is watching over you, is very proud of all of you and wants you two and Nicky to embrace your dreams and goals with the same passion and zest and love that she did.

If any of you ever need a place to stay in New York City or if there is any other way that I can help, please do not hesitate to contact me through your father, Michael.

My sincere condolences to you all,

Be well and strong,

Lisa Cahn

It's almost a year to the day. Some people I know have "moved on". I understand how they can want to, but I cannot forget that for children who've lost a mother, husbands who've lost a wife - among the many permutations of loss we've heard of in the last year - there is no "moving on". There is only getting used to the new reality, and hopefully finding it slightly less raw, day by day. Many of us in the Samohi community will never forget Carolyn Beug, and will always hold the deepest care in our hearts for her family. As the world turns and news of the day shifts to other things, remember that we remember. -- Sarah Tamor

Dear Carolyn.....

I am a member of All Saints Church in Pasadena, California. Today, just three days before the one-year anniversary of the tragedies that claimed so many lives, our congregation was given bands bearing the names of those who perished. I received your name. My husband and I came to this site tonight so we could learn about those who's names we would carry the next three days. I saw your picture and my first impression was, "ah, what a light-filled, warm and engaging looking woman..." I went on to read briefly about who you were here on earth and the role you played in so many lives. I think you must have been a special lady, with creative energies and an abundance of love and life to give those around you. I will keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers the next handful of days, and then some. Pray for us too, Carolyn, that we as a global community will come to reconcile our differences and create a sustainable world where love and peace are the answer, not blame, hatred and exclusion. God bless you and your family...

With love,

Carolyn,

I did not know you but through the loving kindness of someone who wanted to help Americans deal with this tragig loss, I purchased a "Mercy Band" with your name on it so that I may daily pray for those who knew and loved you. Until today I could not put you with a face or family. I only knew your name and the flight that youu were on. I found this sight today and I am so blessed to see how much of a blessing you were to your husband, children, family and friends. I will keep them in my prayers daily that they may have peace as I proudly wear your name on my wrist each day.

Blessings to all,

For the Spirit of Carolyn,

I am a woman in the same business as Carolyn. Shortly before I left Los Angeles for perhaps another career, Carolyn did some digging, to try to get me located in maybe a different kind of job in our same industry. And, then, shortly after that, Carolyn herself moved on from business as usual. It seems, in our flung corners, we both gained some freedom and new found creativity, even on the bedrock that when times get rough, women who care, help each other. We had connected through a mutual friend -- a man who cares and helps -- and, to me, Carolyn felt like magic at the other end of the phone. Up front and realistic and busy and sincere, thoughtful and kind. There is no doubt that all who knew her were granted a most special love and magic. My prayer is that her loved ones continue to feel that special, loving, healing, helping warmth, for Carolyn's Spirit surely is forever embracing those most special folks of her life. The gift of her legacy makes a mere colleague like me feel more secure with who we are and how gently we might live our lives, always feeling secure with the love of others. Thanks, colleague, friend of a friend, and true, loving-spirit of a hero. God bless you, John and children.

Your Friend, Karen Johnson

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

We love you all so much. The spirit of your mother will never be forgotten. Lauren and Lindsey-please enjoy your college experience- it's what your mother would have wanted. We're always here for you when you need us. Mama Bunny will be with you always.

Sending all our love,

Cady, Fischer,

all the little bunnies,

and the rest of your SAMO family

Carolyn's gift of love and generosity for the kids on the SAMO Track and Cross-Country teams was an inspiration, and a reminder of the preciousness of the everyday. It's daily we think of you, Carolyn, and pray that your family finds solace and strength in memories, and someday, even joy.

To the Family of Carolyn Beug,



On All Saints Sunday, November 4th, Trinity Episcopal Church held a Blood Drive in memory of all who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Each person who donated chose a name to memorialize by his or her gift. Carolyn Beug was chosen by Patt Barnard, a member of our church. Although we cannot lessen your personal pain and grief over this terrible tragedy, please know that you and your loved one are not forgotten and that we keep you in our hearts and prayers. May God bless you!



Sincerely,

Mary White
