Carolyn was one of the first people I met at Coldwell Banker Brown when I became a realtor. She always greeted you with a smile and a ” how do you do ? “. Carolyn was so very genuine.
I am so blessed to have known this amazing lady and she will be missed dearly. All of my prayers and thoughts go out to her family.

Jim and I were blessed to be neighbors with Carolyn, Perdida and Sadie the last 5+ years. We enjoyed hearing her stories from the “good old days” at Budweiser and I cherished our special talks in the driveway and hearing about her beloved Frank. We know they are together again, but I will miss my sweet friend.
