Carolyn left a legacy of loving those around her while making a difference for Christ. She never met a stranger! She made those she came in contact with feel welcomed and heard. Carolyn had a way of helping people tear down the superficial walls to bring out true authenticity. She found pure joy in spending time with and loving on her family, especially her beloved grandchildren. Her life’s passion was for all to know and accept the love and peace of Jesus Christ.

”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” -John 3:16
