KINKLE, CAROLYN LOUISE LIGHTSEY 
February 17, 1948 — August 2, 2012

Carolyn Louise Lightsey Kinkle, 64, a longtime resident of Bayou Vista, passed 
away Thursday, Aug. 2, 2012, while surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Carolyn is survived by her loving husband of 48 years, John “Johnny” Kinkle 
Sr.; one son, John Kinkle Jr. and his wife Angie; two daughters, Christine 
Bailey and her husband Joseph, and Amanda Kinkle and her boyfriend Pete Thomas; 
two sisters, Judy Landry and her husband Terry, and Nancy Scully and her 
husband Russel; one brother, Roger Lightsey; 10 grandchildren, Nicholas, 
Sharon, Kerrie, Jason, Christin, Danielle, Bradley, Joshua, Drake and Joseph; 
and four great-grandchildren, Aubrey, Shane, Zachary and Bryan; her 
godchildren; her numerous nieces and nephews; and a special thanks to her 
niece, Jennifer Kinkle Gros.

She is preceded in death by her son, Larry Kinkle, whom she missed every single 
day since he passed; her father, DeWitt Lightsey; her mother, Emily McClendon 
Lightsey; her brother, Ronnie Lightsey Sr.; and a sister-in-law, Anita 
Simoneaux.

Carolyn was known as a kind, loving and giving individual. Her family describes 
her as having been a firecracker, a little spitfire in the family. She was a 
very sociable person, known for talking to any and all of her friends when she 
was out and about. Carolyn loved being surrounded by her family, especially so 
she could cook for them, a pastime she enjoyed greatly. Carolyn was an adoring 
wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend. She will be deeply missed 
by all who knew and loved her.

The family requests that visitation be observed Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012, from 5 
p.m. to 8 p.m. at Hargrave Funeral Home in Morgan City. Visitation will resume 
Monday, Aug. 6, 2012, beginning at 9 a.m. until the time of services.

Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m. at Hargrave Funeral Home. Burial will 
follow in the Grace Memorial Cemetery in Plaquemine.
