Carolyn had a huge heart and loved unconditionally. She adored children, the elderly and always fed stray cats. She would give you the shirt off of her back if you needed it. Everyone was a friend. Carolyn was loved by many and will be missed by us all. Rest in peace dear Carolyn. You are finally free. The family will receive friends at Elmwood Chapel from 10:00 to 11:00 am on July 20, 2015 with a graveside service to follow at Elmwood Cemetery.
