Arthetta Carolyn Koerber, born on November 20, 1936, died Thursday morning, June 9, 2016, at age 79.  Carolyn was the daughter of John Edward Baldwin and Eloise Lavinia Baldwin of Louisville, Kentucky, graduated from Ahrens Trade School in 1954 and was employed as a Legal Secretary.  She was the loving wife of Clement J. Koerber Sr. for 59 years and is survived by four children Clement J. Koerber Jr. (Jerry & Tomoko) of Denver, Colorado; Eileen S.
