She was a 1958 graduate of Hot Springs High School. She loved gardening and was a longtime member of the Garland County Master Gardeners, joining in 1991. She was also an animal lover and was a self-employed Groomer and Boarder for over 25 years. She adopted and cared for many dogs and cats, and would tell you that she was more blessed by them than they ever were of her.
Carolyn was a loving mother and grandmother. She is survived by her son, Jeff (Michele) and daughter, Kristi Huddleston (Dale); five grandchildren, Jeffrey, Brad, Kalie, Lexie, and Alex; two great-grandchildren, Kaden and Grayson; sister, Mary Helen Bates Beardmore; and nephew Gale Beardmore.
Memorials may be made to the Humane Society of Garland County.
A private family memorial will be held at a later date.
