So sorry to learn of Carolyn’s passing.
I am glad I spent some time with Carolyn in March and had a pleasant lunch with Ann. Even though she was confined to a wheelchair and needed 2 carers, Carolyn kept her sense of humor.
She will rest in peace.

Carolyn was such an intelligent, educated, accomplished and caring woman who devoted much of her life to helping the disabled. But also she had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. I will always remember all the good times we had together especially on New Years Eve! I will miss her and think of her often. Ann I’m so sorry for your loss

Along with the sadness of Carolyn’s passing came the memories of her innate kindness toward all who had the fortune of knowing her. The sharing of times spent together working, conversing, playing canasta or sharing meals are well remembered. Ann, we are very sorry for you loss.
