Carolyn loved to be around children often caring for them as they were her own she would of loved nothing more to of had a house full. Her kindness and generosity always shone bright to anyone who walked through her door, she was quick to make you feel welcome as she sat you down at her kitchen table for a cup of coffee or a meal.

Her love and kindness for animals will be missed especially by her furbabies Goober, Ben and Tony .

Carolyn could often be spotted on one her walks through Eastern Passage or her favorite hangout Tim Hortons catching up with friends and people watching.

It was tough getting her to slow down and relax but she enjoyed a good road trip and often fell asleep making for great company.

Carolyn lived her entire life in Eastern Passage , if you were lucky enough to have met her ,you knew you would have a friend for life. Her sense of humor and a smile that could light up the darkest room. Her quick wit and gentle heart and the great love she had for her Son ,her family ,friends and God, truly made her a one of kind .
