The cutest grandma I've ever known. She had a great sense of humor and I'll miss her when I come over! How lucky we were to have her for so long. My prayers go out to her and the family.

I lost my mother, two years ago, also age 91. A grand age, they'd say back in Ireland, where Mary was from. I didn't know Carolyn but you were lucky to have her all those years. May she rest in peace and always be remembered in love.

Thank you Peg. My sincerest condolences. I was very fond of your mother. No doubt she taught you and others many life lessons, I’ll remember her for teaching me one as well.

She was a special person, your mom. I’ll miss her. The years I spent working with her in Tukwila remain some of my most cherished memories. We were a family and your mom was a valuable part of that. You see, unbeknownst to me, the busier the work day, the faster I chewed my gum. Your mom though, my accelerated gum chewing drove her crazy until one day she said “ Betty, don’t chew your gum like a cow.” A lesson I’ve never forgotten.

We were friends, we trusted each other, and we enjoyed working together. All my love to you and yours.

I will always have fond memories of Aunt Snooks and her smile and caring attitude. My heart goes out to each of my cousins. while I know we are grateful for our moms long lives, it does not make the loss any easier. You are all so special - and fortunate to have had such a wonderful mom. You are in my prayers and thoughts...

Carolyn's maiden name was Sheehan. She once was name for having the most beautiful legs in Grand Island in a contest at the old Capitol Theatre in Grand island. She later participated in a contest at the Ak Sar Ben in Omaha. There are several articles and pictures of her in old Grand Island Daily Independent and they are posted on Facebook. My sympathy to all of her family and send my prayers their way.
