Carolyn was of the Messianic Judaism faith, a follower of the Yeshua Messiah, being very devout in her belief.

Carolyn, a faithful Christian and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend was a lady filled with grace, kindness and goodness. She was always thoughtful of others and willing to share abundantly with others. She always extended to others a heart of love that became more evident with every turn of events in her life. Carolyn's trust in her Savior never wavered. She has left to all of us gifts of courage and faith which is and always will be Carolyn's legacy.
