Later she worked as the manager of a convenience store and most recently was employed by McDonald’s Restaurant. Through the years, Carolyn was also a devoted homemaker to her family.
In her spare time she enjoyed cooking, sewing, and babysitting her grandchildren. She possessed a delightful sense of humor, loved to laugh, and could make everyone smile. She was a good person with a kind and loving heart, who always put her family first.
