Cara Caplinger Obituary

Cara Jo Caplinger, age 53, went home to be with her beloved Lord, who she loved with all of her heart. She was found dead of natural causes. She was preceded in death by her father Melvin Caplinger and her brother Boyd Smith. She is survived by her son, Chaz Holland, her mother, Thelma Caplinger, and siblings, Boyd Smith, Dennis Smith, Judy Weaver, Barry Smith, Scott Smith and many beloved family and friends, too numerous to name.

She was an amazing, funny and strong woman that touched many lives. She will be greatly missed and every time we see a yellow mustang we will laugh and remember her with love.

My prayers go out to Cara's family at this time. I'll miss her friendliness and smiles and hugs, she was so helpful to our Feed Delaware at Delaware City Vineyard Church.
