Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

Karlie Ann Everett (nee Lamke) died on December 8, 2025, as she wished, at home in Annapolis overlooking her beloved Back Creek. Karlie was born on January 10, 1946, in New Jersey. She met her husband, Gerald, on a blind date, and they married in 1967. Together they raised their daughters Kathleen (+ Rick) and Michele (+ Loren). Karlie took care of her family while working full-time as a schoolteacher and later, an elementary school principal, and earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in education. She was employed by Anne Arundel County Public Schools for more than 30 years. After retirement, Karlie poured the love and devotion she previously shared with a school full of children into the lights of her life, her three grandchildren, Beck, Annie & Emily. Karlie was a dedicated docent at the Annearrundell County Free School and requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the museum's steward, the Anne Arundel Retired School Personnel Association (AARSPA, 2644 Riva Road, Annapolis, MD 21401, www.aarspa.org). In addition to her husband, children, grandchildren, sons-in-law, nieces, nephews, and a full circle of extended family and friends, Karlie is survived by her brother Ken and sister Teresa. The family is planning a "Party for Karlie" on Memorial Day weekend, with steamed crabs, good food, great wine (she left us a list!), and the music she loved to dance to.
