Carolyn was a homemaker for a long part of her life, and throughout her professional career she worked in the office for Dodge which handled construction bids.

Family was important to Carolyn. Family vacations involved traveling to New Smyrna, Florida and Disney World. The family vacationed at Disney World the first summer it opened. In her retirement she enjoyed traveling as well and experiencing more of this country and the Caribbean. She was an excellent seamstress making clothes, quilts, and dolls. She was involved in her church and had many good friends there. Carolyn enjoyed playing euchre and participated in several groups during her lifetime. She loved a good martini and later in life enjoyed white wine. She tended to her garden throughout her retirement and in the spring, she loved the spring bulbs and pansy flowers. In summer, she tended her roses and other flowers in the yard. She enjoyed planting annuals that attract butterflies and birds.

She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
