Deborah Marie Carr

Deborah Marie Carr, age 65, passed away at her home in Laurel, surrounded by loved ones, on November 26, 2025.

On June 13, 1960, Deborah was born to Joseph and Alice Kohlman in Baltimore, Maryland. She graduated from Towson University in 1985 and began her occupational therapy career with the Prince George’s County Public Schools, where she dedicated 30 years to helping children with disabilities.

Deborah loved to travel, her favorite trip being to Switzerland. She also enjoyed her yearly trips to Swallow Falls and the beach. She had a great sense of humor and could often be found laughing. Deborah enjoyed helping others, celebrating Christmas with her family, and, most of all, being a nana and going on adventures with her grandchildren.

Deborah will be remembered as the most loving wife, mom, nana, aunt, sister, daughter, and friend.

Deborah is survived by Matthew Cody Carr, her husband of 39 years; children Josh, Amy, and Jacob; son-in-law Muhammad; grandchildren Mira, Logan, and Elijah; and brother Joseph Kohlman. She is preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Alice Kohlman; and sister Karin Evans.
