Carolyn Gauthreaux Carderara passed away on Monday, January 24, 2022, at the age of 76. She was the beloved wife of the late Matthew “Mike” J. Carderara, Sr.; loving mother of Matthew J. Carderara, Jr., Phillip T. Carderara (Kelly), and the late Christopher J. Carderara; proud grandmother of Ryan (Rachel), Kristy (John), Brittanie, Matthew III (Britney), Cameron, Evan, Landon, and Aiden; great-grandmother of Maddie, Aleah, Jaxson, and Dexter; sister of Sylvia (the late Emery), and Judy (Darryl); and sister-in-law of Josephine Carderara. She was preceded in death by her parents, the late Olive Derouen Gauthreaux and Thomas Gauthreaux; and by her siblings, the late Larry Stokes, Sidney Gauthreaux, and Stanley Gauthreaux. Carolyn found great joy in a teaching career that spanned 50 years: three years at St. Cletus Catholic School in Gretna and 47 years at Our Lady of Prompt Succor School in Chalmette. She was a true woman of faith and was dedicated to her church community. Her greatest joy was spending time with her husband and family. She was never happier than when they were together – whether at home, embarking on cruise ship vacations, or traveling to casinos on the Gulf Coast. She will be forever loved and truly missed by all those she leaves behind. Relatives and friends attended a visitation and funeral mass on Tuesday, February 1, 2022 at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church, 2320 Paris Rd., in Chalmette, LA. Interment: She will be laid to rest in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens, Chalmette, LA.
