Following is the obituary for CAROLYN WARNOW MAKOVER, submitted for the family by the Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home in Fairfield.

.   .   .

Carolyn Warnow Makover, 83, of Fairfield, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2022, at the Regional Hospice in Danbury with her daughter at her side.  

In all aspects of her life, Carrie remained positive and pragmatic. She brought warmth, generosity and a creative spirit to all that she did.

Carrie graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in 1960. Over the coming years, she worked in publishing, marketing and graphic design while also raising her family.  

She found a true calling while attending the Conway School of Landscape Design and received a Master of Arts in Landscape Design in 1986. 

She worked at Tate & Associates as an associate in landscape design; at Frederick P. Clark Associates as an environmental planner, and for the Town of Westport as a municipal planner in the Planning and Zoning Department. 

She later served as webmaster for the town and several nonprofit organizations, and remained active in local initiatives. Throughout her career and in her volunteer work, she focused on utilizing good design and communications to support people and communities.

Carrie also cared deeply about keeping family and friends connected. Everyone felt at ease in her charming home surrounded by beautiful cottage-style gardens.  

During the pandemic, she lent her substantial technical skills to ensure that her personal and professional groups could easily move to online gatherings. With her brother and sisters, she founded Reckless Night Music to help preserve the musical legacy of their father, composer Raymond Scott.  

Carrie will be greatly missed by her daughter, Kathryn Makover; son, Daniel Makover; long-time partner, Richard Stein, and by many dear friends and family members. Born in 1938 in New York City, she was preceded in death by her parents, Pearl Winters and Raymond Scott, and her stepfather Larry Winters.

A memorial gathering will be announced at a later date. For information or to share an online condolence, please visit the Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home website. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network or the Regional Hospice in Danbury.
