Carolyn Abbott Orandle, 80, died peacefully at Kline Hospice House in Mt. Airy, Maryland on Sunday, January 3, 2021.  She was born on January 10, 1940, in Keedysville, Maryland.  Carolyn was the daughter of the late Doyle L.

A graduate of Boonsboro High School in 1958, she then attended Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in Baltimore, Maryland and graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1961. While in school at Sinai, she met and married her husband of 47 years, Samuel A. Orandle of Las Vegas.

Carolyn loved being the busy Mom of her two girls.  She also loved animals, decorating for the holidays and embroidering many hand towels she gave as gifts to all of her family and friends.  She had many beloved friends from her years in Las Vegas as well as a cherished group of friends, including other retired nurses, at her Victoria Park apartment in Walkersville.
