She had a passion for life’s simple pleasures. Carolyn loved visiting the fair, where she enjoyed the sights, sounds, and vibrant energy, always with a smile on her face. At home, Carolyn found joy in tending to her flower beds. A gifted cook, she had a special talent for bringing people together around the table. Her meals were not just food, but a labor of love, always prepared with care and a generous heart.
Carolyn also enjoyed shopping, always on the lookout for the perfect gift or something special for loved ones. And whether it was a casual evening with family or friends, she loved to play cards, bringing laughter, lighthearted competition, and joy into the room. She was known for her boundless generosity, always ready to lend a hand or offer a kind word. Her spirit of giving and ability to make everyone feel welcome and loved will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
