Carolyn was a proud grandmother to Danni, Lauren, Dylan, Tricia, Josh, and Megan, and is further survived by many nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, cousins and many members of her cherished and chosen family.

Carolyn dedicated much of her life to service and community involvement. She was a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts, serving as a devoted volunteer for 47 years, and was also an employee of both the Cottaquilla Council and the Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama. She also devoted her time as a longtime Boy Scout volunteer. Carolyn retired from BellSouth after 38 years of dedicated service and continued giving back as a volunteer van driver and coordinator for Disabled American Veterans (DAV). She was also a proud member of the Telephone Pioneers.

Carolyn lived by the Girl Scout Promise and Law throughout her life, showing kindness, honesty, service, and compassion to everyone she met. She truly believed in helping others and making the world a better place. She will be deeply missed by her Girl Scout sisters and all who were blessed to know her.

Carolyn also held a special place in her heart for Boy Scout Troop 6 Alexandria, who became like extended family to her. She welcomed them into her home, where many meals were shared, stories were told, and lasting memories were made. Her home was always a safe and loving place, and she will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.

Her faith was an important part of her life, and she was a longtime, devoted member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church.
