Carolyn was a retired Registered Nurse who spent most of her career employed at Presbyterian Hospital-Same Day Surgery, where she worked as a recovery room nurse.

Carolyn’s passion in life was taking care of others. It was evident in her love of nursing, her chosen career, as well as her many days and nights spent caring for many friends and family as they experienced medical issues. She was always ready and available to help those who needed her expertise and assistance.
