Carolyn Sue Rowland

Carolyn Sue Rowland, 78, of Indianapolis, passed away with her children by her side on Saturday, December 3, 2022.  She was born on March 28, 1944 in Indianapolis to the late Archie Rowland and Dorothy (Kingham) Rowland Schmidt. Carolyn was a graduate of Arsenal Technical High School. 

Carolyn had worked for L.S. Ayres, the US Postal Service and the Salvation Army; she loved ringing the bells for the Salvation Army.  She was talented when it came to crafts and would decorate for every holiday and event.  Her favorite holiday was New Years Eve.  She enjoyed going to parades, church on Sunday and never let anything stop her from having a good time; she could be found all over even when she was in a wheelchair.  She had several challenges in her life but she always remained independent and was good at handling what limited finances she had.  She will truly be missed by her loving family.

Survivors include her children, Richard Ledford, Vickie (Jeffrey) Park and Lorrie (Robert) Watkins; grandchildren, Jennifer (Lee) Higgins and Christina Ledford and Cohnor (Makenzi) Park; great-grandchildren, Carrisa Ledford, Baleigh Higgins, Cierra Ledford and Makenzie Higgins.  She was preceded in death by her parents and great-grandson, Jonathan Higgins.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 9 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Lauck & Veldhof Funeral & Cremation Services, 1458 S. Meridian St., with a service at 1:30 p.m. with Pastor Loral Tansy.  Burial will follow in Concordia Cemetery.
