She worked multiple jobs as a bookkeeper and substitute teacher. She relocated a few more times before settling close to her daughters in Oklahoma City. Carolyn spent her time with her family, volunteering with the Hugs Project, cooking at church, crafting, and traveling. She was proud of her heritage and spent many hours compiling her ancestry.
