Carolyn L. Grubbs, 77, a loving wife and mother, went to heaven on May 19, 2021. Carolyn is survived by her beloved husband of 53 years, Nicholas S. Grubbs, and her loving children, Christopher Grubbs and Jennifer Grubbs.
Carolyn was born in Norman, Okla., on July 20, 1943, to the late Cleveland and Patricia Pinder and is survived by her brother, Stephen Pinder.
Carolyn was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend to many throughout her long life. Carolyn was very active serving her communities, volunteering at Monongalia and Martin Health Systems, Morgantown Hospice, Monongalia Arts Center, Red Cross, Saint Thomas Aquinas High School and was a board member and officer of West Virginia Public Theater, Valley Hills Garden Club and Monongalia Hospital Auxiliary. Carolyn was very creative, teaching classes in all forms of art, making creative displays, props and mediums and every person she encountered, whether family, friend or acquaintance, was treated with kindness, respect and unconditional love. Besides her volunteering, she had a special love for the beaches and making special gifts for her relatives and friends.
A funeral Mass will be held at Saint Andrews Catholic Church, 2100 SE Cove Rd., Stuart, Fla., at 10 a.m., June 4. One of Carolyn’s favorite things to do was go to the park for a picnic. Please join us for a celebration of Carolyn’s life following Mass at Sansprit Park, 3443 SE Saint Lucie Blvd., Stuart, Fla., on the intercoastal waterway.
Carolyn has had a special place in her heart for Mary’s Home, a transitional home for pregnant moms and their babies.
