Amherst, MA - Carolyn (Carly) married Leonard F. Zimnowski May 10 1952 in the Sacred Heart Church in Greenfield. While living and working on the Zimnowski farm in Sunderland she raised two sons, Leonard and Thomas.

In Carolyn's spare time she and her mother Helen enjoyed sewing, crocheting, ceramics and spending time with her Grandchildren.
