It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Carla Rae Lathan on October 5, 2024. She was 87 years old.

Carla was born on September 10, 1937, in Attleboro, MA, and was the daughter of the late Carl W. and Lisle Jordon. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Carla is survived by her daughters, Kimberley Dunn and her partner Charles Anderson of Saunderstown, RI, and Pamela Lathan of Portsmouth, RI. She was preceded in death by her daughter Kristen Papetti and her former husband, James R. Lathan of Middletown, RI.

Carla's legacy lives on through her seven grandchildren: Patrick Dunn and his partner Molly Urban of Warren, RI; Ashlee Dunn of Charleston, SC; Sean Dunn and his partner Julia Collins of Tiverton, RI; Joseph Papetti of Annapolis, MD; Preston Anderson of Saunderstown, RI; Angus and Gina Anderson of Gibsonia, PA; and Graham and Billy Anderson Hughes of Hoboken, NJ. She was also a proud grandmother to nine great-grandchildren.

In addition to her immediate family, Carla is remembered fondly by her nieces and nephews, including Linda Beauchain of Stuart, FL; Lisa Grande of Portsmouth, RI; Lori Rinkel of Portsmouth, RI; and Lizbeth Harris of Middletown, RI.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful staff of Village House Nursing Home and Continuum Hospice Care for their loving service, with special thanks to Enzo and Maryellen for their exceptional care and support.

A private memorial service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to San Pancho Animales www.sanpanchoanimales.org or Village House Nursing Home Activities Fund in Carla's memory.

Carla Rae Lathan will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
