“And whatever you do, whenever in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him”. (Colossians 3:17)
Mary Carol Klaine was lovingly raised by her devoted mother, Margaret, and her family. Her father, George, passed away just two months before her birth. However, the steadfast love and support of family surrounded her throughout her life, providing all the care and security she needed.
Mary Carol began her education at the age of five at Mother of God School in Covington, Kentucky. After completing eighth grade, she attended Notre Dame Academy. Upon graduation, she began working at Peoples Liberty Bank and Trust Company in Covington, Kentucky.
At the age of twenty-one, Sister Carol Marie entered the Novitiate of the Sisters of Notre Dame. She later returned to school to further her education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Thomas More College, a Master of Arts in Education from Northern Kentucky University, and principal certification from the University of Dayton. Sister Carol Marie was devoted to education in a lifetime of faithful service, teaching intermediate and junior high students in the Dioceses of Covington, Cincinnati, and Lexington.
In 1973, Sister Carol Marie discerned that she was being called to temporarily step away from the Sisters of Notre Dame, yet her love for teaching and her faith remained at the heart of her life and ministry. During the years she was not a part of the community, she continued to be closely connected through her ongoing commitment to education and service.
After returning to the Sisters of Notre Dame, Sister Carol Marie soon found a ministry especially close to her heart. She served at St. Augustine School in Covington, Kentucky, where she ministered as both teacher and principal. There, she formed strong and enduring relationships with students and their families. Her faithful dedication to the St. Augustine community lives on in the many she inspired.
After retiring from education, Sister Carol Marie continued to serve her community in many capacities, assisting with the receptionist’s office, transportation, and the scheduling of meeting spaces. To relax, she delighted in spending time on the golf course, visiting with local families, and enjoying the companionship of friends.
After a life of service to God and his people, Sister Carol Marie passed away peacefully on May 9, 2026. Sister Carol Marie will be remembered for her faith, her service, and the countless lives she shaped through education. Her legacy lives on in the students she taught, the schools she strengthened, and the community that so deeply loved her. May she now enjoy the reward of her good and gracious God.
