This obituary was originally published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Carolyn was a much-loved and most entertaining resident at The William Byrd Apartments. She remained an active participant in everything and scooted around here and out into the neighborhood like Dale Earnhardt! Her vibrant personality and upbeat outlook will be greatly missed here. My condolences to her family members: she was a terrific lady.

I am greatly saddened to hear of the loss of such a dear person. I also had the honor of working with Carolyn at the Museum and can honestly say that she was one of the most genuine and caring persons I have had the pleasure of knowing. I always enjoyed our daily visits and lunches and she always was genuinely interested in our lives. She was much like a mother hen to many of us. She cared about us all very much and we her. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Carolyn at the Museum where we considered ourselves part of a second family. Carolyn was the heart of that family. Her kindness, wisdom and great sense of humor were something we all loved about her. She will be greatly missed.
