April 10, 2025
Carolyn Ann Gianarelli went home to Jesus on April 10, 2025, at the age of 82.
She was born on July 2, 1942, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Thomas and Bertha Beazley.
Carolyn met the love of her life Clarence Gianarelli, in 1958 at Colorado Springs High School. They were married on September 22, 1962, and together raised two daughters, Pamela and Julie.
In addition to being a devoted wife and loving mother, Carolyn loved her role as a grandmother. She found great joy in gardening, sewing, quilting, cooking, baking, reading, and serving as a Stephen Minister. Her unwavering faith in God was a guiding light throughout her life—one she shared generously with those around her.
Carolyn is now reunited in Heaven with her parents, Thomas and Bertha Beazley. She is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 63 years, Clarence Gianarelli; her daughters, Pamela (Corey) Simons and Julie Rishavy; her grandsons, Brendan Riggen and Nathan Riggen (children of Pamela), Giovanni Rishavy and Dario Rishavy (children of Julie). and her brother Phillip M Beazley.
Carolyn's gentle spirit, deep faith, and generous heart touched everyone she met. She will be forever in our hearts and dearly missed. We thank God for blessing our lives with Carolyn.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Bethel Lutheran Church, 4925 Farmingdale Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80917.
Flowers may be sent directly to the church.

Sharie and I are so saddened to learn of Carolyn's passing. She was a woman filled with the spirit of love and care for all. She was a wonderful neighbor of ours for decades and we so appreciated having Carolyn and her family close to us all those years. We send our condolences and prayers for Clarence, Pam and Julie.
