I worked with Carolyn during her career at Bristol Eastern High School. My favorite memory is a personal one. During the crazy days of Cabbage Patch dolls Carolyn heard that I was frantically searching for one for my daughter, Amy. She knew someone in Caldor’s & called in a favor. She gleefully let me know that I should go to the service desk & tell them my name. She had them put aside one for me & Amy had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you Carolyn! I never forgot your generosity.

I just heard that Carolyn has passed and I am so sad that we lost touch. She was such an important part of my career and life. She was my Assistant Principal at BE as well as my Principal at Bingham. She was a wonderful leader and always saw the best in me. There were many conversations,behind closed doors that devolved into tears of merriment as we shared stories about life,teaching,family.

I’m am very sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Cistulli. She was a big part of my growing up in the old neighborhood in Bristol as Mark’s friend. I remember the countless sleepovers and the summer trips to Cape Cod so well and her integral part in making sure everyone had fun. My thoughts go out to the family.

She left a legacy never to be duplicated in her family and Bristol Education.

I am truly sorry to hear about Carolyn's death. We shared a laugh or two at Naugatuck Valley Community College functions. That's how I will always remember her--laughing. My condolences to the family.
