MERCER - Carolyn Elaine (Gifford) Zimmer was born on July 14, 1930, in Fairfield, the daughter of Natalie Maude (Day) and Ralph Abner Gifford, and she departed on June 14, 2012, in her Mercer home of heart disease, just shortly before her 82nd birthday.
When Carolyn was 5 years old, her father had an untimely death and their family moved from their farm in Fairfield to a house in Norridgewock.
Carolyn was educated in the Norridgewock elementary school to sixth grade. Then, she moved on to the Seventh-Day Adventist Church school in Norridgewock. After her graduation from eighth grade, she went to Riverview Academy for two years and completed her high school education at Union Springs Academy in upstate New York. She attended Atlantic Union College for two years, where she met her husband, Randolph Zimmer, who was from New York City.
Carolyn and Randy were married on June 10, 1951, in South Lancaster, Mass., and they recently celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary.
Outside her family, Carolyn's passions were teaching and farming. She taught for one year in Hartford, Conn., and for many years at the Collingswood Park Seventh-day Adventist Church school in New Shrewsbury, N.J. Carolyn and Randy lived with their four children in New Jersey for more than 30 years before moving to Mercer, upon Randy's retirement in 1984.
Carolyn is survived by her husband, Randy; daughter Patricia Wecht and her husband, Francis; son Steven and his wife, Carolyn; son Lawrence and his wife, Linde; daughter Cynthia Stout and her husband, Frederick; grandchildren Christopher, Susan, Melissa, Hilary, Gunnar, Karl, Maximillian and Jake; several step-grandchildren; and step-great grandchildren. Carolyn always took pride in her children and grandchildren and their accomplishments. She is also survived by her sister, Barbara Boynton, of Mercer; brother Curtis, of Augusta; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents; older brother Kendall and younger brother Ralph.
