She was such a sweet lady. She will be missed.
Carolyn was such an amazing person. She was a blessing to our family And I will miss her so much.
I can’t even put into words how special Carolyn was. She was a spitfire that had an amazing life and so many stories. She made me laugh on a daily basis and kept me sane while working in a not-so-great work environment. Hearing about her passing was devastating she was one of those people who you never thought could be gone. Carolyn, you left a lasting impression on my life and will be truly missed.
Love,
Christine Owens and Family

My heart was broken today when I learned she was gone. I knew there was something wrong when she didn’t return my calls and her mail box was full. She was a great lady who made me laugh with every conversation we had. She would speak her mind and it didn’t manner if you liked it or not. I will so very much miss our weekly phone calls. The last time we spoke she told me she was tired and wished it was over. I am glad she got her wish. If I could talk to her today I know what would tell me {It’s about damn time} She would tell me suck up the tears and get over it. My tears won’t stop. I loved her so very much and will miss her forever.
My heart is broken but I know that Carolyn has had and forever will have a beautiful life with Jesus. I was blessed to call her my friend. We spent many hours together over the years chatting, laughing, crying and praying together while she got her nails done. She was truly one of a kind….a spitfire with a deep love for her family. She will be missed!
