Carolyn Ann Hay Bodie, 90 years old, lived in Indian Springs Village, Alabama. Born December 30, 1935 in Birmingham, Alabama. Parents were Columbus P. Hay and Lillie May Guthrie Hay. Carolyn was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved cooking for her family and providing for them. She also enjoyed traveling, gardening, but most of all her family gatherings at the condo where she cooked her famous fish fries, and spaghetti dinners after a long day on the boat. The things that Carolyn enjoyed the most was spending time with her children and grandchildren and spoiling them rotten. She and her husband Ralph were huge animal lovers and provided the best home for many pets over the years. Carolyn and Ralph loved going to their church and were strong in their faith. They loved teaching vacation bible school and their third grade Sunday school class. They loved to take them to Six Flags, pool parties, and movies. They treated them as they were their own. They loved traveling with their church friends and attending missionary trips to Venezuela. Those who knew Carolyn, known dearly to many as Granny, will remember her for her sweet heart and kindness.
