Carolyn was born and grew up in Yonkers, NY, moved to South Carolina in the 1970s and retired to Orlando, Florida 10 years ago. She spent most of her working life in the textile industry but enjoyed retirement best of all. She had an amazing sense of humor that was often unfiltered, and she was the life of any party. She enjoyed traveling, spending time with her friends and family and working on her tan at the beach. Like her favorite romance novels and Hallmark movies, she will live happily ever after in the hearts of all who knew her.
