Caroline Louise Kudell

Dearest Connie, I was blessed to have met you in 1962 at FJC when you gave me the name of Belle Star. You were and have remained a wonderful influence on me. I truly cherish your vibrant personality, unbelievable talents, and our years of friendship. May Maureen and family soon be able to replace their sorrow with the wealth of memories you have left them. Thank you for being in my life.

I came to know and love Caroline when she played for the monthly Birthday Sing-A-Longs at the Retirement Inn of Fullerton and I had the pleasure of leading the singing on those occassions while my mother was a resident there and also at Gordon Lane Convalescent Hospital. She brought so much joy to the residents with her musical talent, sunny smile and wicked wit!
She will be missed greatly.

I was privileged to know Caroline. She was one of the most cheerful and talented people I know. She shared her musical talents with the Fullerton Republican Women, Federated, on many occasions and was a joy to work with. Seeing her play the pipe organ at Plummer Auditorium was a treat also. She will be missed.

Caroline was the Class of 1936 representative for the yearly Fullerton Union High School All-Alumni luncheon, contacting her classmates and encouraging them to attend the luncheon each spring. She would personally bring Larry Myers, the language teacher at FUHS from 1936-1972. She brightened the day for all of us.
I have placed her obituary on the FUHS All-Alumni blog so that more of her friends may see it.

Carolyn Kudell played the keyboard at the Fullerton Republican Women Christmas luncheon in 2001, at which I was installed as President of the club. Carolyn was a lovely lady and a good friend to many members in our club. She will be missed.

Dearest Caroline!!! What an absolute joy and blessing to have known you!! The most treasured memory was our duo-piano gig in Whittier. Playing those pages of songs - no music just song-names and keys - molded together like we had been a "team" for years!! The other was the funeral we played for - you on the organ, me on the piano. We got our respective music pages mixed up and each played a different song at the same time. Fortunately they were in the same key . . . but still 2 different...

Dear Family and friends of Caroline,
I first met Caroline in the early 60's when she was one of the judges in the Or. Co Professional organ club's scholarship contest. Since then, she has been such a great friend.Evrery time I played a concert on Fullerton's Plummer Wurlitzer, she was right there on the bench, ready to turn my pages. She came to our organ festival in Palm Springs in August and ofcourse, lit up the room when she entered, like always. I loved her close friendship and also...
