Carolyn Whitman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Peinert-Dunn Funeral Home - Waterville Chapel on Oct. 1, 2025.
Carolyn Whitman, 87, of Waterville, Ohio, passed away on Monday, September 22, 2025. Born on March 13, 1938, in Flint, Michigan, she was the beloved daughter of the late Charles and Dorothy (Hesling) Harris.
A proud graduate of the University of Michigan, Flint Campus. Carolyn built a successful career as the Human Resources Director at General Motors, where she dedicated many years of service before retiring. Following her retirement, she and her husband of over 40 years embraced a new chapter of life, relocating to Orange Beach, Alabama.
Carolyn was an avid golfer, running numerous women's club invitationals at Glen Lakes Golf Course, Alabama. Her Sundays were joyfully spent attending Cedar Creek Church alongside her daughter-in-law, Teri-a time she cherished deeply.
She also had a special place in her heart for her King Charles Cavalier Spaniel dogs, whose companionship brought her great comfort and joy.
Carolyn is survived by her loving husband Peter Whitman, children Ronald (Teri) Loeffler of Waterville, Ohio, Donald Loeffler of Traverse City, Michigan, Lisa Kentish of Tampa, Florida, stepchildren Lindsey Kinkead, Miles Carrol, brother Charles (Joyce) Harris of Davison, Michigan, Grace (Ron) Ranger of Michigan, 10 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her sister Dottie Peterson.
