Carolyn C. Albrecht (Evans), age 85, passed away on July 4, 2025 at The Hill at Whitemarsh in Lafayette Hill, PA. Carolyn was born and grew up in Wakefield, MA. Throughout her life she spent many summer days, often with three generations of family, at Crow Island, the family island property, on Little Sebago Lake in Gray, ME. Carolyn graduated from Colby College in Waterville, ME where she was actively involved as President of her Sigma Kappa sorority and Editor of The Echo, Colby's newspaper. Carolyn met her first husband, Joseph T. Consolino, at Colby. Her parents, Arlene Woodman Evans and Harvey Bolles Evans, also met and graduated from Colby. Following Joe's service in the U. S. Army, Carolyn and Joe raised their four children in Concord, MA before moving to New Canaan, CT.  Joe unexpectedly passed away in 1988. Carolyn married Knute C. Albrecht in 1995, and they subsequently resided in Devon and Berwyn, PA.

Carolyn devoted her life to raising her family. She had strong family values and was very involved with all her children in their educational pursuits and many sporting activities. Carolyn was also actively engaged with her communities, serving as President of the PTA for several years at her children's school in Concord, later as an active member of the New Canaan Sewing Group, and numerous volunteer efforts. She especially loved her years of tutoring at-risk youth. She also worked in retail management at The Whitney Shop in New Canaan. 

In her early years, Carolyn enjoyed tennis and skiing, and later took up golf. She was passionate about music, particularly classical music, and was an accomplished pianist. Carolyn enjoyed attending church services wherever she lived, and was a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in New Canaan, CT and St. David's Episcopal Church in Radnor, PA where she served on both Altar Guilds. While spending part of the year in their Palm Coast, FL home after Knute's retirement, she also attended Trinity Episcopal Parish in St. Augustine, FL. Particular joy came from many children and grandchildrens' frequent visits in Florida. Carolyn was very much a dog person with english setters being a favorite breed, and lastly with her best friend, Amber, a golden retriever. She was very fond of taking long walks with Knute or friends, especially along the beach. Carolyn was loved by all, and everyone who met her quickly became a friend.

Carolyn is survived by Knute, her husband of 30 years; children Joseph (Jeff) Consolino; Sarah Murphy (William); William Consolino; David Consolino (Margaret); 11 grandchildren and one great grandson; sisters Janet Riester and Faith Evans; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Carolyn's family especially wants to thank the nursing staff and many others at Mather House, at The Hill at Whitemarsh for providing excellent care during her 3 1/2 years there.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on September 20, 2025 at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in New Canaan, CT. Following the service there will be a reception at the Country Club of New Canaan. Carolyn's ashes will be interred in the columbarium at St. Mark's.
