Carolyn enjoyed playing bridge, golfing and traveling. She was a lifelong learner and loved to read. Her greatest joy, however, was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Bill, their children, John (Johanna), Pam and Joe (Britt), sister, Trudy Gutowski (Jim), and grandchildren Will, Owen, Bryce, Alexandra, Madeleine, Scout, Finn and Griffin.
