Following is the obituary for CATHERINE “TINA” CARNAHAN, submitted by the family.

______________________________

Catherine “Tina” Carnahan, 83, of Westport, passed away on May 1, 2024. She is now at peace with her beloved husband, Claude Joseph Carnahan II, who preceded her in death. 

Tina was born to Anthony and Rose Scopelliti in White Plains, N.Y., where Tina also met the love of her life, Claude. Together, they raised a loving family of three children: Claude, Christine and Craig. 

Tina was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Tina’s affection for her family radiated to her eight grandchildren, who lovingly referred to her as “Grammie.”

Tina found joy in traveling the world with friends and family, creating lasting memories together. Vermont held a special spot in her heart, where countless family memories were created and shared between Tina, Claude and their loved ones. Whether it was skiing at Okemo in the winter or boating on Lake Rescue in the summer, Vermont was a second home to them. 

Tina provided comfort and purpose in her service to others. Her faith was an integral part of her life, as she was a dedicated volunteer at St. Luke Catholic Church and a proud member of the Sisters of Notre Dame. 

Tina found pleasure in simple joys like bowling, watching Hallmark and socializing with friends. She found immense joy in watching her grandchildren participate in their sporting events and was quite the vocal spectator. 

With her witty charm and unfiltered candor, she was a beacon of authenticity who never hesitated to voice her thoughts.

 She leaves behind a legacy carried forward by her three children: Claude (Marina) Carnahan, Christine (John) Pavone and Craig (Melissa) Carnahan; her eight grandchildren: Alexandria (Tim), Marissa (John), CJ, John, Austin, Kaytlyn, Morgan and Maksim, and her great-grandchild, Aurora. Her spirit lives on in the hearts of those she loved.

The family will receive visitors Sunday, May 5, from 2 to 5 p.m., at the Harding Funeral Home, 210 Post Road East. A funeral service will take place at 11 a.m. Monday, May 6, at St. Luke Church, 49 Turkey Hill Road North.
