Carrie Marie (Hahn) Boyd, went to be with the Lord on Friday, December 11, 2020, at Frederick Health Hospital.  Born June 17, 1934, she was the daughter of the late Clarence E. and Carrie E Hahn.  She was the wife of the late William D. Boyd, Sr., with whom she shared 63 years of marriage.

Carrie graduated from Emmitsburg High School in 1952.  In 1955, she graduated from Lutheran Hospital of Baltimore Nursing School.  She worked part-time at Fitkin Memorial Hospital in Neptune City, New Jersey, for a period of time.  From there, she worked for the Montgomery County Public Schools (Rockville, Maryland) serving as the Nurse at Summit Lake Camp for 45 years before retiring.  While working full-time at Summit Lake Camp, she also worked part-time at Gettysburg Hospital in Gettysburg and Villa of St. Michael’s in Emmitsburg.

Carrie was a lifelong and active member of the Elias Lutheran Church in Emmitsburg, Maryland.  She also attended the Piney Creek Church of the Brethren in Taneytown, Maryland.  In May 2019, she was recognized as “Mother of the Year” from the Piney Creek Church congregation.
