Caroline was born to Bob and Eleanor Marti in Norman, OK, on Oct 31, 1948. She graduated from Norman High, and then on July 14, 1973, Caroline married Vince Claydon, who had her pack her bags and moved to Nome, Alaska. They proceeded to live in Alaska for the following 25 years.
Caroline decided to go back to college in Alaska and get her degree in accounting; then, she did just that. She retired from Longs Drugstore in Alaska in 1998, when they decided to move back home to Norman. Caroline then worked for Walgreens for the next eight years until she decided to retired again. Caroline loved gardening, cooking, baking, and, most of all, her family. She was always thinking of everyone else. For such a tiny woman it took a village to keep her in line and even then it was hard to do. Caroline will be deeply missed.
Caroline is preceded in death by her husband, Vincent Claydon, mother Eleanor Marti, father Bob Marti, brother Birl Marti, sister Betty Frans, and sister Bobbi Jo Marti.
Survivors include her son Thomas Claydon and wife Kristen Claydon of Norman, Grandson Thomas (T.J.) Claydon II of Norman, Granddaughter Alayna Claydon of Norman, Brother Jimmy Marti and wife Gwen Marti of Norman, Sister Dee Dee Calhoun and husband Melvin of Norman, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
