She spent her life juggling 2 jobs to support her children, all in the name of love; always giving them what they needed. She worked so she could give her kids and grandchildren the best life. Hard work, dedication, loyalty, and consistency were engrained in her and she instilled that in her children and grandchildren as well. Through her dedication, she was able to achieve 30+ years in the car sales market, earning herself a plaque from Jim Keras Dealerships. On top of the car industry, she was a notary public and a bartender, remembered fondly for her talent in making margaritas.
Carolyn lived life without regrets and teaching her children the same. “Make memories to last a lifetime” was a common phrase spoken. She was a family woman who adored her children. Grandchildren, and great-grandchildren deeply. Her favorite moments were Christmas or any gathering were she was around her family. Her proudest moments were those of the birth of her grandchildren. She enjoyed the crazy dynamic that everyone shared. Her love was unwavering; loving tight bear hugs and always telling her family to “be safe and watch your surroundings.”
Her favorite times were spent with her favorite companion, a Chihuahua named, Molly, and her family with some home-cooked, country cooking with a glass of sweet tea or a can of Coke Zero.
Carolyn loved country line dancing, often taking her children with her. She enjoyed the casinos, playing bingo, and watching her shows; crime shows, hospital tv shows, lifetime movies, and soap operas.
Carolyn will be remembered for always a cup of coffee at her side, and a cigarette in hand.
Carolyn is survived by her children, Robert Lofton (Tess), Frances Wong (Danny), and Mistie Armstrong (Lee); grandchildren, Bella Grace Armstrong, Brianna Armstrong, Elijah Wong, Cj Lofton, Shelby Wong, Destyni Hall, Jayce Toledo, and Keeley Armstrong; and great-grandchildren, Ryker Lofton, Emery Sivley, and Cameron Armstrong; and her dog, Molly.
