Obituary For Carolyn "Lynn" Mary Schultz
Carolyn “Lynn” Mary (Recupero) Schultz, 77, of Bristol, passed away on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at Miriam Hospital in Providence. She was the beloved wife of the late John E. Schultz.
Born in Providence, RI, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Concetta (Caizzi) Recupero.
Lynn grew up in Bristol, graduating from Colt Memorial High School and going on to earn an Associate's Degree from Johnson & Wales. She met her husband while working at Quonset Point as a medical transcriptionist. During their 50-year marriage they traveled across the country, living in Virginia and California before returning to Bristol 40 years ago. They ran Schultz Medical Transcription for 20 years while raising their family.
Lynn was a lifetime member of the Bristol 4th of July Committee and a member of the Dudek Bowling league, where she enjoyed socializing with friends and very occasionally bowling a strike. She had many friends and loved spending time with them.
She enjoyed hosting Christmas Eve dinner for her extended family, serving seven fishes, and never repeating the same menu. She memorialized this special tradition by writing a family cookbook of her favorite recipes. Always thinking of others before herself, she was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
Lynn is survived by her daughters, Kimberley Dias and her husband Kenneth of West Kingston, RI, Francine DePina and her husband Craig of Warren, RI, and Carolyn Schultz of Bristol; her granddaughter, Taryn Girouard of Florida; her brother Joseph Recupero and his wife Patricia of Bristol; her sister Anna Maria Conley and husband William of Bristol; her niece Catherine Conley and nephew Robert Conley of Bristol.
Services are with Smith Funeral & Memorial Services, 8 Schoolhouse Rd. Warren, RI, where the family will receive relatives and guests for Visitation on Friday, September 26, 2025, from 8-9AM followed by a Funeral Mass at 10AM in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, 141 State Street, Bristol, RI 02809. Interment is private.
