She worked for IPS for 30 years as a financial clerk and bookkeeper and remained close to her friends from her many years of service at John Marshall High School. She will be remembered as a compassionate, thoughtful and giving friend. Carolyn enjoyed traveling, knitting, playing cards, and sharing time with her friends. She was a doting and adoring grandmother to Henry and she was sure to create memories for him to treasure. Carolyn was a courageous, strong, smart, caring, funny and thoughtful woman. She lived her life to the fullest, especially on days that her illness made that quite difficult. She and Tom celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last fall.
