Carleene Blaire Luther, age 77, of Eureka, passed away December 25th, 2023. Carleene was born on August 21st, 1946, to Carl and Miriam Compton (Business owners of the local Union 76 Gas Station, in Eureka.)

Carleene grew up in Eureka, where she attended Eureka High School with two of her lifelong friends Arlene and Suzie, just to mention a few.

She lived in Eureka, where she enjoyed the ocean and the nature thriving here. She enjoyed many live community events throughout the years here.

Carleene may have had some struggles, but lived life to the fullest. She loved bowling, attending the senior league at Harbor Lanes every week with her husband Art Luther.

Carleene loved baseball, especially the San Francisco Giants, which she shared a common interest with her long-time friend Bonnie. They would always sing their song “Our boys are on fireeeeee!” every time the Giants won a game.

Carleene enjoyed Yahtzee nights with the girls every Friday. She and her girlfriends Renie, Susie, Sherrie, step-daughter Tammy and step-granddaughter Katalina would play and enjoy the evening together.

Carleene Luther was predeceased by her father, Carl Compton and her mother, Miriam Compton. She is survived by her husband, Art Luther.

Our family is grateful to know that Carleene is finally at peace. While no services will be held per Carleene’s wishes, our family would feel honored if you kept us and Carleene in your thoughts during this difficult year. We were not prepared to lose Carleene as suddenly as we did, but know that unlike most, she accomplished much of what she set out to do.
