She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Nye Hatcher and grandson, Michael Nix. Carolyn will be greatly missed by her many friends in Fairfield Bay and surrounding community. She especially loved her friends at the Hart Center, spending her after workout time around the table, drinking coffee, catching up on the local happenings and playing Trivial Pursuit. These folks were also her ''family.''

A celebration of life may be held at a later date.
