Carolyn grew up in Montgomery, Texas, along with her three brothers and two sisters. She left Texas and moved to Louisiana to make a family, which eventually led to her fostering many children and adopting three. She enjoyed quilting, gardening, poetry, music and collecting unique items. She was a caregiver to her mother, sister, and brother as they became ill, as well as the many children she fostered through their home. She loved to travel and took trips as often as she could after she retired. She enjoyed spending time with her family and would make trips to Montgomery, Texas to see them. She enjoyed listening to music most every day and her favorite flower was yellow roses.

Our family would like to thank Momma Susie, Alicera with Hospice of Leesville, the nurses of home health care, and the friends and family that took time to visit before she passed.
