Kathleen “Kathy” Ann Carriere, 78, of Huntingtown, Maryland, passed away on November 29, 2025, at Caribbean Breeze Assisted Living in Owings, Maryland. She was born on April 12, 1947, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Mary Margaret (Kirlin) and Jess B. Lewis. Kathy’s family moved to Lancaster, PA, where she graduated from high school in 1965. She worked as a waitress before beginning her career as secretary for the National Association of Letter Carriers in Washington, D.C., which would span over thirty-five years. She married Serge Paul Carriere on July 24, 1982, and they moved between Maryland and Virginia until 1994 when they settled in Calvert County, Maryland. Kathy loved gardening, sewing, needlework, and all kinds of crafts. She was an especially talented baker, famous for her Christmas cookies, which she would carefully package and mail to her loved ones to spread holiday cheer.
Kathy is survived by her daughters, Nicole Vasanth (Mahesh) of Gaithersburg, Michelle Kempf (John) of Huntingtown, and stepdaughter Danielle Bolton (Phillip); her grandchildren Haden, and Kinley Bolton; Asha, and Jayan Vasanth; Kailyn, and Kassidy Kempf, and her sister Margaret “Peggy” Lewis. Kathy was preceded in death by her brother Mike, sisters Judy, and Kris.

Kathy was my cousin and my first childhood friend. We were born five months apart and both of our families lived in Topeka until I was 10. We always stayed in touch through the years, even when the miles separated us and we were busy raising our own children. I will miss Kathy very much – just knowing that she’s there. God bless her family as you mourn her loss.

My sincere heartfelt condolences being sent your way. I have many fond memories of both Kathy and Serge. Thanks to my late husband, Doug, for bringing me into our circle of friends back in the day. Rest peacefully now, and bless the Lord for bringing you all back to eternal life together.

Nicole, Michelle, and family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My Jesus wrap you in HIs comfort and bring you peace. May you focus on all the beautiful times and memories.
Kathy was a loving friend and always loved sharing about “her girls”. She always had National Park “stuff” for our daughter. She loved giving to others. We enjoyed her smile, laughter, and many of her cookies.
Love, Tom and Su O’Brien

Nicole, Michelle and family, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Kathy was a wonderful person who I was fortunate to be friends with for many years. She loved her girls to pieces and would have done anything for them. She was kind and generous. She was loved by all who know her. I remember being in an excise class with her and dancing like we were teenagers. That was many many years ago. We had a lot of fun times together and she will be missed. There is definitely another angel among us. Love,mama Cely
