| About | Carolyn Lageman, 69, of Middletown, RI, passed away on February 16th after a long battle with neuroendocrine cancer. She was born to William and Dorothy Joynt on July 7th, 1949 in Newport, RI. Carolyn graduated from Middletown High School in 1967, received a BA in Mathematics from Regis College in 1971 and later an MBA from Pace University. She started a 43-year career at CIGNA Insurance company in 1971, retiring from that same organization in 2014 as an Associate Vice President. After raising her children in Hopewell, NJ, Carolyn moved back to Middletown. Although she spent many winters in Mesa, AZ, to be close to her parents and brother, her heart was always in Rhode Island. Newport was her birthplace, where she grew up, and where she returned in 2004 to rekindle old friendships and start wonderful new ones in a place that she loved. Carolyn is survived by her four loving children and their spouses: Becca and CK LaFond of Helena, MT; Daniel and Venus Lageman of Cranford, NJ; Sarah and Fred Salling of Durham, CT; and Jeff and Michelle Lageman of Hopewell, NJ. Carolyn (Nana) is also survived by her grandchildren: Reese, Asher, Emily and Soren LaFond; Hunter Lageman; Charlotte and Sophie Salling; and Grace and Elijah Lageman. The family will welcome Carolyn’s 10th grandchild in May. She is also survived by her two loving brothers and their spouses, Stephen and Judy Joynt of Scarsdale, NY and Thomas and Jane Joynt of Tempe, AZ as well as many other family members and her faithful canine companion, Denali. Carolyn was predeceased by her parents, William and Dorothy Joynt. |
