Caroline Salter-Baran Fleming

I too met Caroline on Ravelry. She was always willing to help with swaps and angel packages. She blessed me with a number of amazing packages packed full of interesting things. She even made my daughter and me pumpkin mice for the tinyowlknits Owloween swap. She was always so positive and loving. A truly beautiful woman inside and out.

Caroline was the most wonderful of friends, so kind and loving, generous, compassionate and fun.

I will cherish my lovely memories of her. She was an inspiration in so many ways from her deep sense of caring to her awesome creativity, her playfulness to her compassion.

What a loss and yet what a blessing and a gift she was to the world. I feel honoured to be able to carry Caroline in my heart always.

Caroline will be remembered fondly by so many people all over the world, having made a difference with her constant optimism and joviality through all challenges in life. I consider her to have been the bravest, strongest woman in my realm of friends, a true Gryffindor Lion in heart and mind and body. She will always be representative of a person who I truly admire. I will keep close at hand the wonderful hand-drawn cards and handspun yarns she has sent to me over the years, as each did and do bring a smile to my face. Her absence is felt, but her passion for life and craft lives on through her family and friends. As one of a handful of friends who are part of her Six (I'm)Possible Things group on Ravelry, we will keep her memory close and continue her love of life and craft.

My most sincere condolences go out to Matt, Catrina, and Camilla, as well as to Winston, Druid and Wormy. Remember to be kind to yourselves during this ultimately challenging time. Sending hugs from afar to you all.

I met Caroline on Ravelry and cherished her humour, warmth, generosity and creativity. Her hand-drawn cards always made me smile. She will be greatly missed.

My cousin spunky and cool! I have such beautiful childhood memories of sweet Caroline! I´m so lucky to have lived on the same street as my cousin growing up, holidays were a favorite for all of us! I´ll miss her dearly! Sending love to you Matt and the girls! She was one of the good ones!

I was so fortunate to have know Caroline through our Ravelry Family. I will treasure the beautiful hand spun yarn hat she had sent me and the lovely knitting patterns. She was a one-of-a-kind person, filled with love, joy and kindness. I will miss her dearly.

Caroline and her best friend, Sarif.

I only knew Caroline through my daughter, Sarif, but I loved her for being Sarif´s friend and confidante. She made Sarif´s transition to living in Tuscaloosa so much easier. Her friendship eased my heart know that Sarif had a friend she could count on. I pray now for her grieving family and have to trust that she is resting in God´s loving arms.

Caroline gave so much of her heart to everything she did and everyone she knew. Even in the virtual online space she was a true friend. It seemed like there were no barriers to her generosity. Because she filled so many of my needs, I wanted to give back with a small grove of trees to be planted where they are most needed. I wish her family, pets, and other friends the best. My sympathies are with you.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to have enjoyed her friendship on ravelry will miss her greatly. My heartfelt condolences.

I will miss this very unique woman, terribly. For years she has been a very active and talented fiber artist within the Ravelry community. She encouraged many, myself included, to pursue our craft with gusto, (often with tongue placed firmly in the cheek). Caroline was very generous with her time and organized so many group activities, especially some very entertaining swaps of our handmade items. I have some lovely gifts that Caroline made for me over our years as friends. These include a few hand knit critters, a personalized junk journal, some very special hand spun yarn, and her hilarious hand drawing rat cards. I send my heart felt condolences to Caroline´s family, Matt, Catrina, Camilla, Winston and Druid. Hugs to you all. With love, Robin

I was lucky to meet Caroline on Ravelry. She was a great person who did so much for the community. Caroline was really a brave and strong warrior who fought breast cancer to the bitter end. She was also a nice and supportive friend. We will really miss her.

We will miss her inspiring presence always. She has touched our hearts with her kind gentleness. Gail
