Carolyn Gayle Heidebrecht

Carolyn Gayle Heidebrecht passed from this life on October 5, 2025, at the age of 82. Born on December 4, 1942, Carolyn lived a life filled with quiet joys and simple pleasures.

She found comfort and fulfillment in the small things, whether getting lost in a good book, preparing thoughtful meals for her family, or spending time browsing shops with loved ones in search of unique finds and great deals. She also enjoyed trying new restaurants and exploring local dining spots around town.

A meticulous homemaker, Carolyn took pride in keeping a tidy and welcoming home. Everything had its place, the floors were always swept, and the shelves were never dusty, a reflection of the care and attention she gave to everything she did.

Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Deborah Carl; her son, Kevin Heidebrecht, and his wife, Angela; her grandchildren, Brentley Jones and Shannel Jones; her great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Jones; her sister, Kay Dodd, and husband, Donnie; niece, Tammy Nash and her husband David and their children; nephew, Craig Dodd and his wife Brooke and their children; as well as a host of other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Heidebrecht, and her parents.

Carolyn will be remembered for her loving presence and the warmth she brought to the lives of those around her.
