Carolyn "Cabby" (Holmes) Paskiewicz, 75, of Winchendon, formerly of Littleton and Concord, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 25, 2016 at the Quabbin Valley Health Care Center in Athol, MA after a lengthy battle with Breast Cancer.
Carolyn was born in Concord, MA on March 12, 1941, the daughter of the late Carl and Dorothy (Miner) Holmes. She attended Concord High School and graduated with the class of 1959.
Affectionately known as "Miss Hampton Beach" for her love of the ocean and walks in the sand, Carolyn enjoyed life to the fullest, never skipping a beat. She worked for many years at the family farm "Stans Big Acres" in Littleton, MA tending the farm stand and caring for the flowers. Fall was her favorite season with pumpkins and cider to sell, and the farm stand being fully decorated for Halloween. Her pets were like family to her and her kindness transferred to all animals.
Carolyn had a special way about her and she will be greatly missed by all that have known her.

Fellows and her husband Christopher of Winchendon, MA and Amy P.
