One of early childhood memories is Mrs. Carolyn as my Sunday School teacher. She was such a sweet lady and always spoke when I made it back to Alamo. My thoughts are with the entire family.

Beautiful lady. I grew up in Alamo, so I have many memories! I remember when she & Sammy married. Loved all the Ronk family! It takes Special People to "take care" of others, and they were ALL very Special. Thank You for your services!

Miss Carolyn was a beautiful Christian lady. I once told her husband Sammy he not only married the most beautiful lady but a precious lady. He smiled and said “you are right about that.” I would see her in sparking white slacks down on her knees as she planted the most beautiful flowers in such glorious colors on the Baptist church grounds. She was a special lady, one of a kind, and will certainly be missed.
