She was married to John Daus, Jr. for 54 years before his passing in 2004. He was her true love from the age of 14 first coming over to her house on his bicycle to ask her out on their first date. They continued dating throughout high school and college.
Carolyn graduated from Bosse High School and continued her education at DePauw University, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority.
She married John Daus, Jr. on December 29, 1949 at St. Lucas Church. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church and the Junior League of Evansville. Carolyn also enjoyed spending many a day playing bridge with her beloved Bridge Club friends in Vero Beach, FL., and Bay View, MI. In addition, she and John traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe.
Along with Mom, we as a family are so grateful for the love and care that Mary Clark, Roger Curtis, and Connie Bishop gave over the years and the emotional support and tender loving care from the special ladies at Home Instead. They all loved our Mom deeply!
