Carolyn C. Mattingly

Suddenly on Tuesday, September 30th, 2014 – Carolyn C. Mattingly of Potomac, MD. She was the lifelong love of her husband, C. Richard Mattingly, for over 44 years; the adored and loving mother of Christin Mattingly (Alex) Lewis; cherished daughter of Alex and Betty Combs; dear sister of Marilyn Cannon, Bryan (Susan) Combs, and Catherine (John) Owens; daughter-in-law of Charles and Bettie Mattingly; sister-in-law of Barbara Middleton; and aunt of Olivia and Michael Owens and Steven and Lisa Middleton. Carolyn is also survived by countless loving friends and extended family here in the Washington, DC area and throughout the country.

No woman on this planet cared more about those she loved and called a friend than Carolyn. She not only gave endlessly to them, she was untiring in her kindness and in her deep commitment to so many causes. She was her husband’s soul mate and partner in the fight against cystic fibrosis. She was a former Chair of the Churchill High School Boosters, Commissioner and past Chair of the Maryland Commission for Women and a member of the National Association of Women Judges: Women Moving Forward Conference, along with many other contributions to the community. When not volunteering, she was a real estate agent throughout the DC metro area.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at www.cff.org. Her family plans to establish a special project in the near future in her memory and in honor of the impact she has made in her much too short a time with us.
