Carol was my tennis doubles partner at CCHS and lab partner in biology. I can’t remember laughing more when in her presence. She certainly made playing tennis fun and getting through Sr Eugene’s biology bearable. Thinking and praying for her family.

I am just heartbroken for your family. Carolyn earned her angel wings way too soon. She was a blast to work with and play with. Carolyn had a zest for life and a gift of laughter she shared generously. Her memories will be a blessing to me and to all who knew her.
