Caryn Jayne Pluth was born March 8, 1957, in
Lincoln, the daughter of Edward J. and Joan Pokorski
Pluth. She was united in marriage to Don W.
McLaughlin on November 27, 1976, in Lincoln.
Caryn is survived by her loving husband, Don; their
two daughters: Sarah (Justin) Ramlow and Shanan
(Nick) Hoffmann; and five grandchildren: Mia,
Hunter, James, Samuel, and Jack.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and one
brother, Stephen Pluth.
Caryn was a member of Holy Family Church in Lincoln
and was a graduate of Lincoln Community High School.
While her children were in school, she was an active
member of the Lady Railer Booster Club and a room
mother at Carroll Catholic School. She also was
active in The Lincoln Junior Woman’s Club.
Caryn was employed as a secretary for her father’s
business Pluth Tin Shop. She then continued
employment for many years at Lincoln IGA where she
was a friend to all who walked through the door. In
2006, she finished her career as a Teacher’s Aide in
special education classrooms for District 27 and
Chester East Lincoln. |
You could always find Caryn working
on her scrapbooks and listening to her 60’s and 70’s
music. She loved a good Bloody Mary and enjoyed
cheering on her Cubbies. Her greatest joy in life
was to watch her grandchild succeed in academics and
sports. She could always be heard from across the
gym rooting on all the kids at basketball and
volleyball games.
Momma/Grandma Caryn was a mother to all. She loved
all her kids, even if they were not her own. She was
never afraid to put you in your place or be very
honest with her opinions. She had the most outgoing
personality and was very strong-willed. Caryn loved
her family fiercely. They were her whole world.
For the last sixteen years Caryn had dealt with
medical hardships. She fought long and hard to be
strong for herself and her family. She will be
terribly missed by her family and loved ones.
Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital or Susan G. Komen For the Cure (www.Komen.org).
Final arrangements are entrusted with Peasley
Funeral Home of Lincoln.
