Carolyn Marie Felgenhauer

Carolyn Marie Felgenhauer, 79, of Meridian, Idaho, passed away peacefully on the morning of August 8, 2024.

Born November 4, 1944, in Weiser, Idaho, she was the middle child of five children. After graduating High School, she attended nursing school. While studying to become a nurse, she met the brother of one of her classmates and in 1968, she married him. Together with her new husband, Norman Felgenhauer, they embarked on their adventures together. With multiple moves throughout the State of Idaho through the years and three children in tow, they finally found their forever home in Meridian, Idaho. 

In 1990, Carolyn graduated from Boise State University with her Certification as a Surgical Tech and spent then next 20+ years in that and various other roles at St. Lukes Regional Medical Center in Boise. Once she retired, she stayed busy with her support for her church, Holy Apostles in Meridian, Idaho and their charities, her travels to Europe and throughout the States seeing the sights and visiting with family whenever possible. Carolyn enjoyed attending Boise State University basketball games with her children and grandchildren as a season ticket holder. She enjoyed spending time with her neighbors and friends for their lunches and get togethers as well as her constant support for her grandchildren, always making time for their soccer and basketball games, cheering them on louder than anyone.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband, Norman; daughter, Lori; parents, Charles M and Margaret Henggeler; older brother, Eugene (Gene) Henggeler; and her youngest brother, Leo Henggeler.

Carolyn leaves behind a legacy of love and adoration. She is survived by her daughter, Nicole Felgenhauer; son, Brian (Jennifer) Felgenhauer; grandchildren: Trevor, Zakery, Colton, Alex, and Lane; sister, Margaret Joan Henggeler; brother, James (Suzann) Henggeler; sister-in-laws: Ginger (Gene) Henggeler; and Lisa (Leo) Henggeler; godmother, aunt Louise Palumbo; along with many beloved: nephews, nieces, cousins, friends, and their families; each one as important to her as the next and who will all miss her terribly.
