They had 67 wonderful years together until Wayne passed away at the age of 92. Their life was full of travel, gardening, spending time with friends and family, and involvement with their church, Ross Grove Baptist. Carolyn was the oldest member of Ross Grove Baptist Church. Her family was always Carolyn's main concern. She always put everyone's needs before her own. She stayed home with her two children and never worked outside the home, except for a brief period of time when she did bookkeeping at Cleveland Lumber Company. She was born to be a mother. She was a shining example of kindness, quiet strength, and unselfish love. Carolyn loved working in her flowers and watching her birds, especially blue birds.
