CASTINE – Our beautiful mother, Carolyn M. Punzelt, drew her last breath on May 14, 2023, Mother’s Day. Born in Warwick, Rhode Island, to Frank and Mildred Marcroft on March 16, 1932.
Carolyn grew up determined, accomplished, and multi-talented. A proud Navy wife and loving mother, she will be remembered for her joie de vivre, her keen sense of design, her courage and strength in the face of adversity and her vodka martinis on the rocks with a twist. She was married to the love of her life, Capt. David L. Punzelt, U.S. Navy, for 58 years. She was devoted to her faith, the Episcopal Church, P.E.O., gardening, golf, and most especially, to her adoring family and many friends.
Carolyn is survived by her three daughters, Margaret Ann, Elizabeth Ann, and Katharine Ann; their husband’s Howard Heppe, Jim Bibber and Woody Morris; grandchildren, Sara Heppe (Heather), Scott Heppe (Erica), Andrew Heppe, Jake Morris and Carly Morris; great-grandchildren, Clifton, Robert, Nessen, and Asher; and her brother, Frank Marcroft.
Donations in her memory may be made to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 10 Brookline Place, W 6th floor Brookline, MA 02445, or to Trinity Episcopal Church, 150 Perkins St, Castine, ME 04421, or simply plant a flower to make the world a more beautiful place like she did.
A memorial service to celebrate the life of Carolyn M. Punzelt, will be held 2:00 p.m. Saturday, July 1, 2023 at the Trinity Episcopal Church, 150 Perkins St., Castine. A reception will immediately follow the service at the Castine Golf Club, 200 Battle Ave, Castine. A private service and interment will take place at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA.
