Carolyn Kay (Matthews) Fegley

Carolyn Kay (Matthews) Fegley, 78, passed away on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, in Convoy.

She was born March 3, 1946, in Van Wert, the daughter of Carl R. and Kathryn L. Matthews, who both preceded her in death. She married Roger D. Fegley on May 7, 1966.

Carolyn was a 1964 graduate of Ohio City-Liberty High School, where she was a member of the school band and the 4-H club. After high school, Carolyn worked at Central Mutual Insurance Company before leaving to start a family.
