Carolyn Sue Singhurst, 84, of Indianapolis, Indiana, passed on March 14, 2025. She was born on May 26, 1940, and was the beloved wife of Charles H. Singhurst, with whom she shared 65 wonderful years of marriage. Carolyn’s life was full of love, laughter, and devotion to her family, her faith, and her passions.
A joyful spirit, Carolyn could often be found whistling around the house or strolling through the aisles of her favorite department stores, particularly Target, where she dedicated many years of service. Her love for shopping was matched only by her love for gardening, particularly tending to her beautiful flowers at home, and her fondness for her loyal chihuahuas.
Carolyn met the love of her life, Charles, in 1956, and they married in 1959. Together, they created a life full of cherished memories and a family who adored them. Their bond remained unbreakable for 65 years, a testament to their deep and lasting love.
At the age of 30, Carolyn's life took on a new direction when she accepted Christ as her Savior while attending a Billy Graham Crusade in Springfield, Illinois. Her faith was a guiding light in her life, and she was later baptized on October 4, 1970, at the Indianapolis Baptist Temple, where she was a dedicated member for 14 years. She also attended Burge Terrace Baptist Church, where her love for her church family continued to grow.
Carolyn's greatest joy in life was her family, especially her grandchildren, whom she lovingly helped nurture into the loving adults that they are today. They affectionately called her "Nanny," and she embraced this role with all her heart. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her nurturing nature and boundless love will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Carolyn is preceded in death by her parents, Helen and Clarence Witte and her granddaughter, Rachel Singhurst.
Carolyn is survived by her loving husband, Charles H. Singhurst; her children, Mark A. (Cheryl) Singhurst, Lisa L. (Eric) Leming, Tiffany S. (Michael A.) Geryak, and Robin M. (Billy) Singhurst; her grandchildren, Brandon (Danielle) Singhurst, Amanda (Jacob) Shane, Shanda (Tyler) Asher, Jamie (Antoine) Leming, Michael C. Geryak, Haley Geryak, Sabrina Geryak, Devin (Ileana) Scott, Halle Scott, Sade Warner, and Charles Warner; her great grandchildren, Brayden, Brayson, Bryden, Bo, Avery, Cooper, Jalayiah, and Sol; and her fur babies, Pappi and Spot.
