We were only around Carolyn a handful of times and always felt so comfortable talking with her about all kinds of things. We felt like we knew her well from stories from Dawn and from how at ease we felt with her. She was and continues to be so loved by so many.

Choir, Food Pantry, Yard Sale and all the activities at church were such a big part of Carolyn's life. Biggest was her love for the Lord and her family and friends. We will miss her but know she is still watching over us! Worlds of love to Dennis, Elliott and family.

Carolyn was one of my best friends and confidant all through high school. She was maid of honor at my wedding almost 58 years ago. I enjoyed rekindling our lifelong friendship when I would visit family in Augusta. Rest in peace, my friend.

My brothers and I have fond memories of Carolyn singing in the choir at Pierce Memorial UMC and participating in youth activities there. She was a fun person - always a pleasure. Our prayers are with you.
