Carla Thornton Feldmeyer, 90, operated boarding house

Carla Thornton Feldmeyer, who operated a boarding house in Annapolis, died June 20 of heart failure at Union Memorial Hospital. She was 90.

A graduate of Annapolis High School, Miss Feldmeyer began operating the boarding house in the early 1950s. Over three decades, her establishment became a favored destination for families and guests of students at the Naval Academy.

Her niece, Eleanor Patterson, said Ms. Feldmeyer's boarding house was popular because the Feldmeyer family was prominent in Annapolis.

"The family name was a well-respected one, and the families felt comfortable sending their unaccompanied young ladies there," Mrs. Patterson said.

In the early 1980s, Miss Feldmeyer stopped running the house and moved to an apartment building for the elderly.

Graveside services will be at 4 p.m. today at St. Anne's Cemetery in Annapolis.

She is survived by a brother, Seeley Thornton Feldmeyer of Annapolis.
