My deepest condolences to Carolyn's family. We cousins were all so sorry to hear of her death. She was our last living aunt. None of us knew her very well, because she and my late Uncle Bob Jones lived in another part of the country, and the Jones descendants now are very scattered, the older generation all having passed on.
I was very touched by her selfless devotion all those years to Bob during his very long illness, and then later caring for her son with his own health issues. She faithfully sent a Christmas card every year, full of news of her grandchildren, and she occasionally would call when she heard there had been a tornado near us, or when she heard something about one of the Jones cousins or in-laws. Family was very important to her, as was her faith. My late father admired her strength of will tremendously, giving her all the credit for creating a strong family life for Bob.
I am sure she will be dearly missed by her children and their children, as well as in her community and her church family.
