Carolyn Hatch Ross

Carolyn Hatch Ross, 72, Indian Head MD, passed away on September 1, 2023, peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.

Carolyn was born on November 23, 1951, to Kathryn Hatch and William Pellini in Washington, DC.  After Carolyn graduated from high school she worked many jobs through the years but her favorite was being a DJ on a Dinner boat in Old Town, Alexandria, and being a homemaker for her family.

In 1972, Carolyn met Robert Ross and went on to have 4 children, Paul Ross, Eric Ross, Lauren Ross, and Christine Ross.  Carolyn spent most of her time taking care of her family and in her spare time she enjoyed dancing and making others laugh.  She was a very skilled bowler and received many trophies and prizes through the years.

Carolyn was preceded in death by both her parents Kathryn and William Pellini, her sister Linda Pellini, her son Paul Ross and her best friend Nina Wilson.

She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Robert Ross, her son Eric Ross, and her daughters Lauren and Christine Ross. Her Brother Carl (Joe Anne) Pellini, niece Maria, and nephews Billy and Scott. Her grandchildren Makenna, Makenzie, and Landon Ross, and a close family friend Mary Saey.

Carolyn's family would also like to take the time to acknowledge their appreciation to all of Carolyn's Caregivers and Nurses who have helped take care of her through the years, and a special thank you to Allison Carroll-Minor who was a caregiver who would become a close family friend.

Details on a celebration of life will be provided at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations to help out with funeral expenses.
