Carrie Beaton Obituary, Death – During the celebration of our Lord’s resurrection on March 31, 2024, my dear mother began her journey to paradise. With her loved ones by her side, she peacefully passed from this world, her courageous fight against cancer having finally come to a close. Despite the unfortunate timing of her departure, her unfaltering courage and poise in the face of her destiny speak volumes about her character.
My mom’s heart overflowed with limitless love for all of God’s creatures; she was an inspiration to all who knew her. Through her personal efforts in rescuing numerous animals and her generous donations to rescue organizations, her life’s work was centered around advocating for the fair treatment of animals.
She had a natural gift for intelligence, which brought her great respect and the desire of many to seek her advice. On the other hand, she was very bright and had a hilarious sense of humor that could make even the worst of days better. Any room she entered was instantly brightened by her contagious laughter.
She was a strong, honest woman who radiated kindness and gentleness in all that she did. Although she briefly lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a decade after being born to Thomas and Jean Plourde in Cheverly, Maryland on August 28, 1966, she spent the most of her life in Pasadena, Maryland.
In my eyes, she embodied the highest form of selflessness and devotion; she was more than just a mother. She was loved by everyone, even her beloved pet, Elliott. She was a devoted partner to my father, William Corkran, and a treasured grandmother to Rhea and Kal-El.
Margaret and Harry Plourde of East Hampton, Massachusetts, and Martha and James Conor of Odenton, Maryland, her dear grandparents, who had died before her, are reunited with her in this life. Donations to any respectable animal rescue organization would be greatly appreciated in her memory, rather than flowers.
Our Lady of the Chesapeake, 8325 Ventnor Road, Pasadena, MD 21122, will host a Christian burial mass on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at 10:30 am. Her faith and the profound influence she had on those fortunate enough to know her will be honored at this sacred ceremony.
