Carolyn M. “Carrie” Bugger

Carolyn “Carrie” Bugger, 55, of Florissant, MO, formerly of Highland, IL, passed away unexpectedly, Thursday, July 15, 2021 at her home.

She was born December 15, 1965 to Robert and Jackie (nee Miner) Byrne, in St. Louis, MO.

She was a member of St. Paul Catholic Church, the Civic Women’s Club and the Booster Club.  She worked in Housing & Urban Development, and at Alton Memorial Hospital prior to her time with HUD.

Carrie’s first concern was always that of her three boys, often talking to them daily on the phone.  Her boys were her pride and joy and her favorite conversation.  Carrie always cared for everyone else before herself, always eager to talk to people.  She never met a stranger and knew anyone and everyone, a true social butterfly.  Carrie loved golfing with her friends, going to Blues games and enjoyed sports. A beautiful soul, gone too soon, she will be missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Jackie Byrne.

Carrie is survived by her sons, Daniel C. (Courtney) Bugger, Matthew L. Bugger Jr. and Justin R. Bugger; father, Robert Byrne; siblings, Robert “Bob” (Janet) Byrne Jr., Jean Byrne, Christine Davis, John (Elaine) Byrne; former husband, Matthew (Kelly) Bugger Sr.; many beloved nieces and nephews; and dear friends.

Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
