Carolyn L. Cullinane, born on January 6, 1950, in Lemon, South Dakota, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2025, in Sioux City, Iowa. She was the cherished daughter of Donald and Betty Hetzel and a beloved sister to Jeanne Schopp, Dean Hetzel (Linda), Don Hetzel (Coleen), Byron Hetzel (Kerry), Pam McCool (Curt), Judy Shawver (Matt), Jeff Beaver, and Kirk Davis.

Carolyn was a devoted mother to her children, Shanda Weingart, Mandy Grimsly, Terry Brewer, and her stepson Brian Cullinane. She took immense pride in her role as a grandmother to her grandsons Corbin Weingart, Jaydon Brewer, Trey Brewer, and granddaughters Taylor Kraft and Jillian Weingart. She was also a great-grandmother, bringing joy to Asher, Ruby, Chloe, and Jaylee.

Her life was filled with love and laughter, although it was marked by loss, as she was preceded in death by her husbands, Lowell Brewer and James Cullinane, along with her daughter Mandy, her son Terry, and her grandson Kaleb Brewer.

Carolyn had a passion for nurturing her flower garden and decorating her lawn, finding joy in the beauty of nature. She also enjoyed pampering herself with manicures. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Jan from Mercy One Respiratory Therapy for the kindness she showed to Carolyn over the past seven years.

Carolyn’s memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, who will remember her for her warmth, resilience, and love of life.
