Carolyn was a loving life partner to Becky Hudgins for 22 years. They enjoyed taking rides through the mountains chasing bears, making trips to the beach to relax, and having fun and making the most out of every moment of every opportunity. Carolyn was a proud grandma, always bragging to anyone that would listen. She was a selfless woman, strong and brave, always helping and watching out for others. Carolyn was full of life and loved to see others smile and having a good time. She enjoyed making memories, as often as she could.

Carolyn drove a bus for Field Local Schools for many years, where she served as President of the Union. She drove a bus for Summit County Board MRDD for many years as well, where she coached Special Olympics and won the hearts of many. She was also a proud member of her local American Legion Riders Chapter.
