Carolyn Kintner
August 22, 1928 — May 19, 2017
Carolyn Elizabeth Kintner was born August 22, 1928 to Peter and Elizabeth (Krebs) Faulstich in Elwood, Indiana. She attended St. Joseph Catholic School in Elwood, Indiana and graduated from Wendell L. Willkie High School in Elwood, Indiana on May 29, 1946. She furthered her education in stenography at the Indiana Business College and began employment after graduation.
On August 18, 1951 Carolyn was united in marriage to George Kintner in Elwood, Indiana. Five children were born to this union: Mike, Pat, Lydia, Cathy and Larry.
In describing Carolyn, faith and family were the most important things in her life, with her faith shaping everything she did. Carolyn was baptized in the Catholic faith and was a very devout Christian.
Her husband George was her rock and they enjoyed traveling 49 of the 50 states and having the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime dream and take a trip to see the mountains of Switzerland.
She was gifted with artistic abilities and passed the talent to her oldest son Mike. They spent hours creating together at the kitchen table.
In her 40's, she became very interested in nutrition and read everything she could on the subject. She even ran a health store out of her home for a number of years.
For 24 years Carolyn and George split time as “snowbirds” enjoying all the friendships cherished both in Harlan and Florida.
Carolyn was a member of the St. Michael’s Parish, a member of the Saint Michael’s Guild, was involved in the Red Hat Society and was the queen of throwing Christmas parties for her husband and his sales staff. She absolutely loved baking cookies with her granddaughters, and enjoyed playing bridge and other games especially marbles on the board made by her father.
Carolyn died on Friday May 19, 2017 listening to her favorite hymn Ava Maria, with family at the Salem Lutheran Home in Elk Horn, Iowa attaining the age of eighty-eight years, eight months and twenty-seven days. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband George Kintner; daughter Lydia Kintner; brother Francis Faulstich and grandchild Richard Lee, Jr.
She is survived by her children Mike Kintner and his wife Kathy of Mesa, Arizona; Pat and her husband Richard Lee of Avoca, Iowa; Cathy Kintner and her husband Steve Limke of Omaha, Nebraska; Larry Kintner and his wife Anne of Harlan, Iowa; eight grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; her sisters Rosella and her husband George Williams of Anderson, Indiana; Marie St. Clair of Anderson, Indiana; and sister-in-law Norma Faulstich of LaPorte, Indiana; nieces and nephews; other family members and many friends.
