Good friends are rare and to be treasures. Carolyn was one! She will be missed. The last months of her life were spent in assisted living and she was so happy there. She also loved to go to Walmart and out to eat. The friends she loved to visit with, and the stories she could tell.
Carolyn will be missed.

As my sister Lori said she was a hoot. I was going to advanced Navy aircraft school in Memphis while my uncle Jack was stationed there. We were able to visit with aunt Carolyn and enjoy down home southern hospitality, cooking and her sense of humor. She was a born and bred mountain woman from Maryland and fit right in when she lived and settled in Tennessee and Arkansas
