Carolyn Ann Rykiel, of Venice, Florida, passed away on November 11, 2026, at the age of 80.
She was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to John and Elsie Hinkle and grew up in Linthicum, Maryland. Carolyn loved being at home, spending time with her family, wearing her favorite jewelry, and sitting down to a meal of Maryland steamed crabs. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and you rarely had to guess how she felt. Her family will smile remembering how she always managed to get the last word or the last laugh. Carolyn was a good friend and a shoulder to cry on. For several years, she volunteered with hospice as a visiting friend, offering companionship and support to patients and their families during difficult times.
Carolyn is survived by her son Jeffrey Rykiel and his wife, Christine, and their children, Kayla Rykiel and Jacob Rykiel. She is also survived by her son Jason Rykiel and his wife, Kristina, and their sons, Joshua Rykiel and Jase Rykiel.
A private family service will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Roberson Funeral Home in Port Charlotte, Florida. Cremation will follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Carolyn’s memory be made to Tidewell Hospice or to a local hospice of your choice.
