Everyone that knew Carolyn, knew of her love for family. She was the epitome of the word Mother and lived her life for them. In every minute of her life she was perfectly content having them near her. In her children and grandchildren’s eyes, she was the best cook ever and Carolyn was always happy to prepare a meal for them. As for the ladies in her life, they were blessed to share time with her on the many shopping trips they took. The memories and legacy of love between them will forever be kept close in our hearts and in our thoughts. Rest well. Until we meet again.
