My heartfelt condolences to family and friends. Carolyn had a big heart, she shared it with many, including myself and our dogs. You could always count on her if you needed her, even before. A neighbour and a dear friend, I will miss our chats, and many laughs. Rest in peace my friend,

Carolyn was a childhood friend and neighbor. We rode the bus to Blessed Sacrament together and our brothers were close friends. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Sweet, sweet Carolyn, how she was in my families lives started before I could remember. Carolyn at about 15 years old babysat me and my 2 sisters, Susie and Marsha until came along Fred 2 years later. Taking us to mass with her, what a teen through the years. I would sit by her and watch her put on her makeup. Just what a little Lyn would love. We would go to her house, knew all her family. Just a wonderful person in our path. She became a good friend to my mother; Marie and they lived across the street. It was a long great relationship, and I am blessed to have known and loved Carolyn. Rest and comfort for the Tim and Matt, what a blessing she had in them. Love Lyn Gross Swan

Dear Matt,Renee,Tim,Kaylee,Maddie&Walker,
I loved Carolyn so much! She was a very devoted prayer warrior! She believed in the power of prayer ! So if you were on her prayer list your request was covered with the most heartfelt prayers. Carolyn’s personality was very bold & colorful as you well know. She loved you all so BIG!!!
She would light up like a Christmas tree talking about each of you. I am very grateful for the time I spent with Carolyn she would keep me updated on the Matson’s stories from back in the day.
I always appreciated how she remembered everyone’s birthday. She endured so many issues with her health but kept the strong desire to enjoy being with her family.
I will miss her but I am filled with joy that she fought the good fight and won! With my heartfelt condolences & love
