Carolyn’s real passion was people, cooking and music. She loved music from an early age and was in various choir groups over the years, with most recently singing in the Unity Church of Houston Choir, until her illness kept her from that joy. She enjoyed musical concerts and the ballet which she often attended with her sister and friends. She was always ready to cook or bake something for friends and enjoyed preparing for a party.

Carolyn also loved Water Aerobics and was a certified instructor. In San Diego, her group of Water Aerobic friends also enjoyed regular meetings at the beach to go ride the waves on boogie boards.

Carolyn’s life was taken too early, but she was full of life and will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
