Sister of Lillian Bryant (the late William “Bill”), Evelyn Williams (Lee), and Gary Harrison (Wilda). She is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, and family members.

Carolyn was a devoted nurse for many years; she started her career at Charity Hospital and went on to retire from Ochsner Hospital. She was proud to have been able to care for so many people through the years. Carolyn was a devout Catholic, and her faith brought her comfort and strength, especially through her devotion to St. Therese. She was an avid LSU fan, held season tickets for many years, and enjoyed traveling with her late husband to away games. Her true joy came from spending time with her family and friends. Carolyn will be greatly missed by all of those who knew and loved her.
