And a resident of the Enon Community passed away early Sunday morning January 19, 2025. She was retired after a career in secretarial work at the Louisiana State Capital in Baton Rouge and later for many years at Franklinton High School. Carolyn also had her Real Estate license and worked in that field all around the area for several years. She was a member of the Winterset Club and Franklinton Women's Club. Carolyn had a green thumb and was devoted to ensuring her gardens were always beautiful. She was also very connected to nature. It was a daily joy to watch the various types of wildlife visit her backyard. She was especially fond of her many hummingbirds and her pet cat "Jersey Mike". Carolyn had a shared joy of cooking with her son and always looked forward to entertaining friends and family with delicious meals and a beautifully decorated table.
She had a passion for traveling with her daughter Jennifer. Together they journeyed to many interesting destinations around the world. Carolyn loved meeting new people and exploring different places and cultures. She also appreciated antiques and was an avid collector. Reading and solving various types of puzzles were other favorite pastimes.

She was forever a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother.
