Carolyn attended Columbus Business University and worked at Baker Hostetler Law Firm in Columbus, Chase Foundry and Manufacturing Co and most recently at Spencer Research Incorporated, before retiring. Carolyn was a loving and giving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who enjoyed spending much of her time with family and friends.

Carolyn was a member of the AKC Kennel Club, where she competed with her dogs, a member of the Columbus Rock and Mineral Society, and a member of the Anglers Club.
