For a brief time I worked with Carolyn at Blount. She was a very sweet person, and I remember a conversation we had about our shared love of housecleaning. She told me how she loved to clean her house when it was raining outside. She was good friends with Menia Perry, who we also worked with, and Menia called Carolyn “Hoppy”; which I thought was a cute nickname!
Wayne Jason and family so sorry for your loss.Carolyn was a wonderful lady.Praying God will give you peace and comfort during this difficult time
Carolyn and Wayne have been our neighbors for many years We were in high school together and so we have known each other a long time. Carolyn was a Christian woman. Always sweet and caring. I will miss her so much.
