It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Caroline E. Kinville, 66, of Sanbornville, NH. She passed peacefully in her home on Thursday August 7th, 2025 surrounded by her family. Caroline was born on December 22, 1958 to Barbara & Floyd Gergler in Rocky Hill, CT.

Caroline was the loving wife of Ralph Kinville, of 29 years. She is survived by her four children: Brett Young and his wife Tara Young, Stephen Young and his wife Melissa Young, Alex Lush and her husband Jesse Lush, and her littlest Sarah Kinville. Caroline was the proud Grandma of six adored grandchildren: Kennedy, Isla, Perry, Hattie, Amberly, Clark, and Pie (the grandkitty), each of whom brought her immense joy.

Caroline graduated with her Bachelor's in Marine Transportation from the United States Merchant Marine Academy - she graduated with the third class of women ever admitted to this federal service academy before taking on the sea by ship with Exxon. She then got her Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of New Hampshire in 1995 while raising her boys Brett & Steve and graduated overall 2nd in her class.

The past 8 years she has worked as Director of Finance & Operations / Human Resources Manager and ultimately becoming Vice President of Affinity LED Lighting where they solely hired Veterans for assembly of their lights, something she was very passionate about as a veteran herself.

Beyond her professional achievements, Caroline was & will forever be known as the brightest spirit to all who knew her. Kind, generous, clever, dynamic, resolute, deeply loving, committed to her work, family, & relationships. Admirable dedication for everything & everyone she loved.

Her strength and love now live on through all of us, and of course that laugh of hers that you hear and can't help but smile.

She will be deeply missed & always remembered.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 11am at First Congregational Church of Wakefield, NH, family and friends are welcome.
