Carolyn was self-employed. When her first Grandson was born, she open opened her doors as a Day Care provider to be with her Grandchildren and give of herself to all children so lovingly. She had a huge heart for everyone!

Carolyn Sr. had an adventurous spirit. She loved travel, it never mattered what time or day it was, she was always ready to go! She went to her grandmother's place of Birth Ireland, Spain, N. Africa, Canada, Mexico and across the United States many times. Her passion was cooking, she loved feeding everyone. She loved nature, during the past two years she’d sit on her deck surrounded by trees and flowers, she loved them and would always give credit to her God Jehovah and say “look how beautiful Jehovah made the sky, trees and flowers they’re so beautiful!”

One of her favorite poems (I wondered lonely as a cloud) “When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze” By William Wordsworth. It all Reminds us of the overwhelming joy of the resurrection hope. Revelation 21: 3,4.
