Carrie Renee Gutberlet

Carrie Renee Gutberlet went to be with her Lord and Savior, Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 8:23pm at her home with her husband, children, and family by her side.

Carrie is a very special gift from God. She loved her Lord and Savior, and received Him into her heart at a very young age. Her devotion to the ministry was special and unique. She was a pastors wife, a Patch the Pirate teacher with her daughter, Lexi, and she had a special way with the children. She loved them dearly and they loved her the same. Carrie was born June 6, 1966 to Leo and Dawn Gandor of Marietta, Ohio. She was a 1984 graduate of Marietta Christian School. She was a cheerleader, volleyball player, Homecoming Queen, and a friend to all. Carrie was awarded a State Championship Trophy for Bible verse memory competition from the American Association of Christian Schools. Carrie enjoyed life as a loving wife, homemaker, mother, and granny. She loved her grandbabies dearly. Carrie enjoyed cleaning her house (she took it seriously). She enjoyed reading her Bible, exercising, laying in the sun, and taking beach trips. She was all about her family, planning meals and get together’s. Carrie will be greatly missed, but the Lord knew how special she was and he chose to take her home.

Carrie is survived by her husband, Kevin Gutberlet of 38 years. Her three children, Tori Gutberlet, Cody (Jasmine) Gutberlet, and Lexi (Mike) Wittekind, her grandchildren, Bryce Gandee, Kolbie and Kash Gutberlet, Bentley Gutberlet, Zane and Zaiden Wittekind.
