Not sure what to say?

Our family has fond memories of Coach Williams during her time in Jourdanton Tx. She was a great coach, friend to many and a fierce softball player!
Heartfelt condolences from the Schorsch family.

I remember Carolyn as a gentle and kind person, loving and patient. Carolyn taught me how to play the guitar (a little bit) when I was a little girl. I always looked forward to seeing her at the next family reunion so we could play some more tunes together.
Sending thoughts and prayers,

“Granny Lyn” was in a League of Her Own in so many ways. From basketball to softball to teaching and writing, she put her heart and passion into all she did. Her heart especially extended to those struggling to be seen and respected as equals like the Navejo students she cherished and the female athletes she championed. It was my privilege to know Granny Lyn and read much of her writing some of which was published in newspapers. Her spark will live on in my heart and I am forever grateful to...

Carolyn coached me through all four years of high school in Jourdanton, Texas. She still has many former athletes and other friends in Texas who remember her fondly. While most of us will not be able to make it to Tennessee for her memorial service, we are planning one of our own here in Texas. RIP, Coach! Your were dearly loved by so many.

Carolyn and I played softball together on the team that won the state tournament. My husband worked with her dad. Sympathy to the family.

Mrs. Williams was always so kind. I work at an office she would stop by for her appointments and we loved seeing her. She will be greatly missed!

I grew up with Carolyn at school at Rockvale. She was a kind and sweet friend to be with and we had lots of laughs together. She will be missed by many!
