Carolyn Sue Chamberlain

Carolyn Sue Chamberlain, 63, of Adel, passed away Monday, April 12, 2021 at Taylor House in Des Moines, Iowa. Care was born February 14, 1958 to Bobbie Gene and Barbara (Gregg) Chamberlain. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, April 19, 2021 at Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home – McCalley Chapel in Adel, with burial following at Panther Creek Cemetery west of Adel. Family will greet friends Sunday, April 18, 2021 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Care retired from the Dallas County Care Facility, where she worked as a cook for many years. Her residents and coworkers enjoyed her cooking almost as much as her family. Almost! She was an avid reader with an appetite for her beloved Stephen King. While most are leery of clowns, she sought them out. She collected unique clown showpieces, favoring Emmett Kelly. Care was a gentle soul who loved people and animals. She enjoyed spending time with her family, her dog, Charlie and her cat, George. She was preceded in death by her father, Bobbie Gene; her brother, Bobbie Gene; her sisters, Susan Marie and Roberta Sue; and her daughter-in-law, Sherry Minshall. She will lovingly be remembered by her mother, Barbara Chamberlain; her partner, Dale Irving; her children Jeremiah Minshall, Emily Six and Dylan Chamberlain; her siblings, Christine Jorgenson (Bud Bombardier), Robert (Sherry) Chamberlain, Connie (Joel) Annear and Shawn (Joy) Chamberlain; her grandchildren Drew, Brandon, Allie, Tanner, Autumn, Aubrey, Troy, and Trevor; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends. The family would like to thank the entire staff at Taylor House for their compassionate care. Memorial contributions may be directed to Carolyn’s family.
