She loved to travel and visited many new places with her husband, family and friends.

The family would like to especially thank the caring staff at Family First.  Also the amazing team of professionals with Envision Hospice.  Together they all made moms days the best they could be.  
Carolyn’s life will be celebrated by a private family observance at a later time.
