Carelyn Ann (Kvesich) Carney, age 94, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 27. 2018, at Windsor House at Liberty Healthcare Center in Youngstown, OH. She was born November 24, 1923, in Warren, OH, to Joseph and Helen (Hychrowska) Kvesich.  A 1942 graduate of Warren G.

Carelyn graduated from Youngstown Business College and went on to work as a bookkeeper for local businesses including the Warren Tribune, where she was the first woman to work in that capacity in the paper’s history, and eventually for the family’s businesses in Girard, Starr Realty and Top Pro Sports.  She was a trooper, having survived multiple cross-country treks in the family station wagon, many harrowing rides on sweltering days Cedar Point, countless baseball and football games, track meets, science-fairs and the like.  Always a care-giver, Carelyn provided love and support for many friends and relatives who preceded her including her parents, husband, brother Henry Kvesich, and her aunt Gerry Sabat.  Also preceding her were brothers George and Edward (Dorothy) Kvesich and niece Susan Kvesich.  She is survived by her children, Chris (Cindy) Carney, Marie Carney-Hossfeld (Robert Hossfeld), step-daughter Karen Rowbottom, grandchildren; Olivia Carney, Victoria Carney, Nathaniel Sunshine, Benjamin Sunshine, Lincoln Hossfeld, Solomon Gunyula, and Michal DiRocco, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
