She later moved to Cambridge, Illinois in 1978 with her children and her second husband- Dennis Mercier, where she lived until 1984. After her youngest graduated from Cambridge high school, Carolyn moved back to Colorado Springs- where she married her husband, James Marshall, and lived until her passing.

Family and friends were extremely important in her life. She played an integral part in planning and coordinating all family reunions and hosting regular family dinners. Carolyn was an active participant in several community organizations and local chapters including the Red Hat Society and Beta Sigma Phi.
