Carolyn, along with Gilly Sharpnack, was one of my first friends after moving to Wheaton nearly 40 years ago. She got me involved with Girl Scouts and Volksmarches. When we moved to the Netherlands for 15 years, she came to visit and we had a ball. After we moved back, she introduced me to her quilting group and we started walking in the neighborhood. She took care of our cat when we traveled. We had lunches with Gilly. I will miss her in so many ways, especially her stories, wry sense of humor and her feisty personality. My prayers are with her and her family.
Carolyn with Judy and Gilly.

One of my best friends with Judy Treanor. Carolyn , Judy and I always did things together. We celebrated our Birthdays, we did a Christmas lunch together, our kids did Bible school together, and she always helped with yard sales for MS. There are so many things we did together that I can't name them all. May you rest in peace Carolyn and may we all remember the good memories.

So very sorry to get this news. Carolyn was a wonderful person and always looked out for everyone. She had great stories about the history of our area, being a longtime resident of Wheaton. She will be very much missed.

I have fond memories of volksmarches with Frank and Carolyn. Both were easy going, generous people and made long walks seem to end too quickly. Carolyn gave me a gift I continue to enjoy and think of her often.
