Carolyn Schloss
Carolyn Sue (Hamilton) Schloss passed away 19 June 2020 and is reunited with family and friends in the House that God built. Born in Wichita, KS on 1 March 1947, Carolyn lived a life filled with family, friends, and adventure. Her parents, Bernard and Betty Hamilton, along with her sister, Sharon (Napier) Bolin, taught Carolyn to live and love her family, shared with her the wonders of her world, and to value friendship and hard work. From her time at David’s Store at Sweetbriar Plaza in the record department, to a buyer for a record distributor, to her last job as a barista at Starbucks, Carolyn loved working with the public and ensured that all she served knew that they were important to her.
Carolyn was married to Stephen Schloss on 30 August 1980, in Wichita, Ks. Their daughter Julie (Fox) was born a year later. They resided in Wichita until 1991 when they moved to Williamstown, NJ as a result of a job transfer. After 10 years, they determined that there really is “no place like home” and returned to Wichita until their retirement. With the birth of their grandson, Holden Fox, they moved to St. Louis to relish the life of grandparenting.
Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, sister and nephew, Jeremy Napier. And is survived by her husband, Stephen, daughter, Julie Fox and grandson Holden Fox. A funeral Mass is planned for St. Louis at St. Simon the Apostle on Friday, 3 July 2020 at 11:00am (live streaming available at https://www.stsimonchurch.org/ , attendees must wear face coverings and adhere to social distancing requirements) with a memorial service in Wichita on 25 July 2020. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to be made to “Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Program”, ( https://irwpstl.org/partners ) an organization whose mission Carolyn believed in and who’s director she loved and admired (her daughter, Julie).

What a beautiful tribute to Carolyn. When I would see her walking she was always so pleasant. I’m sure Steve, Julie and Holden will never stop missing her, she was so pleasant. My thoughts, prayers, and sincere sympathies are with the family. I am unable to attend the service at St. Simon as I am still in rehab from knee surgery, but my thoughts will be with her family & friends.
Steve and Julie,
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of Carolyn and your life together. What a wonderful tribute to her and so many memories to bring you comfort.
We knew Carolyn for just a short time. We feel through these pictures and the thoughts you shared that now we do know Carolyn and the lovely person that she was.
You, Julie and Holden are in our prayers.
