Carolyn B. Oppert

January 12, 1934 - December 28, 2020

Carolyn B. Oppert, 86 years young, crossed peacefully into Heaven in the evening on December 28, 2020 at Azalea Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care. She was a Baptist minister’s wife over 20 years who was greatly involved in the church and kept her God, family and friends close to her heart. After graduating high school in Louisville, AL, she worked at Dothan, AL Boy Scouts of America and attended business classes. She met her future husband while walking from work who had stopped his car to offer her a ride. Her response was, of course, ‘No we haven’t been properly introduced.’ Carolyn and Jim W. Oppert enjoyed over 47 years of marriage after Jim W. made sure they were formally introduced. Her husband Jim W. passed on November 10, 1999. Whether it was working with an engineering firm, at DNR as a secretary, a real estate agent, state certified counselor or in the garden while dinner was cooking for her family, she enjoyed every minute of life. She is survived by her son, Jim L. Oppert, granddaughter, Kacie L. Gates and two great-grandchildren. She was a Southern Lady’s Lady, who would get down on eye level with children to explain important things about life. She showed her love by listening, sharing wisdom, laughter and genuine care of others. A private family service will be held in Alabama at Dothan City Cemetery. Breanna Green of Bevis Funeral Home is assisting the family with their arrangements. (850-385-2193 or www.bevisfh.com)
