Carolyn's love of animals was evident through her dedication to the Greene County Horseman's Association, in addition to being a leader of the 4-H Horse and Pony Club. Throughout her life Carolyn surrounded herself with animals, whether it was riding horses, helping George with cattle, having one of the family dogs by her side or providing a home to cats who needed her love. She leaves behind her beloved cats "Snoopy" and "Daisy Mae" who brought her much joy the past years.
Carolyn and George were not blessed with their own children but loved and nurtured many children over the years. Through her time as Sunday School Teacher and director of the children's Christmas Programs, Carolyn shared her love with all. Nieces, nephews, God-children, neighbors, children of the church and so many others were showered with her love.

From there she became the longtime secretary and bookkeeper for Wayne Lumber Company, where she became part of the Headlee family.
