Carolyn loved to crochet, was an avid Cleveland Indians fan, and loved watching the Hallmark Channel. Also, a Tootsie Roll or two could always be found when she was near. She was also very dedicated in keeping touch with her classmates and out of town family always checking in with them or updating them on daily events.
