Carolyn Kramer

Carolyn Kramer passed away peacefully at her home on October 4, 2022 in St. Augustine, Florida. She was born in Nyack, NY on July 13th, 1955 to Jeannie and Concenzio DeFelice. She raised her two daughters in Washington, DC with her former husband Jeffrey Kramer. Later in her life she moved to Saint Augustine, Florida, rooting herself in the community and fulfilling her dream of living at the beach. Carol was a wonderful mother who never missed an opportunity to cheer for her youngest daughter Jacquelyn at her horseback riding competitions, or the chance to laugh and bake with her eldest daughter Megan. Carol was a vibrant spirit who loved people, spending time with her daughters and family, being a soccer mom, traveling, playing boardgames, going to the beach, spending summers with her family in Canada, as well as singing and dancing. She was a trusted friend and confidant to many and will be sorely missed by her loved ones. Carol had a Masters degree in Social Work from The University of Maryland. She lived a life of altruism, helping many families and individuals during her tenured work as a social worker and family therapist in Washington, DC and Maryland. She specialized in families and adolescents and was an avid community service volunteer throughout her life, generously giving her time to many organizations including hospitals, religious communities, underserved communities, and military families. She loved her work and lived a life centered on helping others. She is survived by her daughters; Megan Ortega and her husband Nicolás of Baltimore, MD; and Jacquelyn Kramer of Washington, DC; and their father, Jeffrey Kramer of Washington, DC. She is also survived by her sisters; Christine Taylor and her husband Warwick of Quebec Canada, and their sons, Dagan and Keaton and their grandchildren; and Cathy Guerriero and her Husband Anthony of Goodyear, Arizona.
