Carolyn was a wonderful friend and was a true treasure. She was the definition of friendship. I enjoyed many lunches with Carolyn and friends. She could always make us laugh. I have so much love for her and will miss her so very much. Prayers to all her family and friends.

Carolyn was one of the first ladies I met after being gone from Mountain View for over 30 years. She was a true southern lady and welcomed me into her circle of friends. I so enjoyed listening to her stories. She will be missed.

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
