Carolyn Batchelor 1946-2016

We lost a beautiful, vibrant spirit much too soon. Our beloved Carolyn Batchelor left us February shortly after Valentine's Day, and our hearts are broken.

Carolyn Wands was born in Nampa, Idaho. She was the only child of Dr. Robert and Eileen Wands. At the age of eighteen Carolyn moved to Ontario, California, with her husband, Steve Batchelor. She, Steve, and their children lived in Cucamonga and Crestline.

When confronted with adversity Carolyn met it with valor. As a single parent she graduated from San Bernardino Valley College in 1980. Carolyn and her children moved to San Pedro where she lived for thirty years. She was employed by Xerox Corporation as an electronic technician and promoted to supervisor. Civic involvement was part of Carolyn's DNA. She was an active member of the San Pedro First Presbyterian Church, Act II, Affinity, and the Associates.

During part of her retirement years Carolyn lived the live of a surfer girl in La Jolla where she played an active role in St. Peter's Episcopal Church. For the last two years Carolyn lived in Zephyr Cove, Nevada. She volunteered with Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care and Friends of the Library.

Carolyn is survived by her children Toni Fejer (Les) and Scott Batchelor. She is the eternal "Grammy" of Chloe Batchelor and Jake Fejer. She leaves loving family and countless friends. Carolyn's memory is our treasure.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 5 at 10:00 AM at the Lake Tahoe Christian Fellowship located at 3580 Blackwood Road in South Lake Tahoe.
