      To the family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Carolyn will ‘ve missed by so many. Something that she will also be known for is helping with the Scouting program in West Salem in many different ways along with Hap for which she is also the mother of 2 Eagle Scouts, Michael and Todd. That’s where I first met Carolyn is in scouting.
      Todd, Dalton, and Austin…i want to express my deepest sympathy to you for the loss of your mother/grandmother. She was such a sweet caring woman who would do anything for anyone if she was able which I’m certain you already know. I will certainly miss her as I do Hap and Michael. She was one of my hometown favorites and heaven certainly gained an angel with her.
