I was sad to learn of Carolyn's passing. I got a chance to meet her when I worked at the Houston District and later when she worked on a project for the Waco District. She was such a joy to be around, always smiling and laughing. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to her family and friends.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Carolyn's passing today. It was such a joy to work beside her for 7 years or so at TxDOT. She was always so positive in everything that she did and was always smiling no matter what. I can remember the day I met her and the last day that we spoke. Carolyn was one special person that's for sure. We always had so much fun working together, a lot of "good memories". Rest in Peace Carolyn. We love you and we will miss you!!
My sincere condolences to all her friends, family and co-workers. CT!! See you later. Until we meet again.

It is with a heavy heart that I extend my condolences to the Carter and Toliver family. I worked with Carolyn at TxDot and her smile would like up a room. She has received her heavenly wings and because of that I rejoice.

Auntie words cannot express how much I love you! You will be missed dearly. I know you're smiling and wishing all of us well which gives my heart joy. As I sit and think about you I wonder who will make your famous potato salad. Your smile and kind spirit will always be remembered. Love, Tay and the Crew

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Carolyn. She was a bright presence in the Houston TxDOT family. Even during her most difficult days I was encouraged by her very positive demeanor. She will definitely be missed. May the Lord Bless her and Keep her.

What I am really going to miss the most is her encouraging words. There was never a time when I saw her she did not have something positive to say. TxDOT has truly lost a jewel. Until we meet again....

Carolyn's presence and smile will be greatly missed in our building, we always greeted each other with a hug & kiss. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest with the Lord Carolyn...TxDOT
