Carolyn R. Street

Carolyn R. Street, a cherished soul born on December 27, 1962, in Rochester, New York, departed this world on January 6, 2026. In the quiet yet vibrant tapestry of her life, Carolyn's joy resonated in the rhythmic notes of music and dance, weaving her essence into every family gathering that made her heart whole. Her zeal for life shone brightest as she embraced the laughter shared while gossiping over reality shows with those she loved. She had a special way of nurturing connections, making each moment spent together feel extraordinary.

A proud graduate of Gates Chili High School, Carolyn pursued her passion for care, ultimately becoming a certified dental assistant. Her commitment to her work reflected her protective nature, a hallmark of her role as a wonderful mother. She loved her family unconditionally, placing their needs above her own, proving time and again that her heart was limitless—a heart that never faltered even as Alzheimer's sought to dim her light.

Carolyn's interests flourished across many realms; she found solace in the pages of autobiographies, the intrigue of documentaries, and the thrill of crime shows. She relished the treasure hunts of antiqueing and found peace in nature's gentle embrace on her walks. Yet, it was in the shared moments of music and dance where her spirit truly soared, captivating those around her with a warmth that was undeniably contagious.

While Alzheimer's may have stolen many facets of her vibrant existence, it could not rob her of her unwavering strength, her infectious laughter, or the warm welcomes she generously offered to all. Carolyn's legacy is laced with the indelible mark of a fierce, independent woman whose impact on her family will forever echo through time.

She leaves behind a loving family, including her daughter, Danielle Street, who carries forward the spirit of her mother's love. Meelah Mead, her granddaughter, brings light and joy to Carolyn’s legacy, while step-father Wilfredo Lopez honors her roots. Carolyn is also remembered fondly by her brother, Felix Ramirez Jr., along with her aunt, Sandra Rodriguez; her nephews, Jeremiah, Andrew, and Collin Ramirez; her niece, Rachel Eveland; and her sisters-in-law, Ellen and Donna Ramirez. In their hearts, she will forever remain, a guardian angel watching over her many great-nieces and nephews.

Though Carolyn has been reunited with loved ones who have passed, including her mother, Nellie Lopez, her father, Felix Ramirez, and her husband, Daniel Street, the ripples of her love and humor will resonate through the lives she touched. Lives made richer for having known this remarkable woman, whose spirit will dance forevermore among the stars.
