Carolyn was a sweet, kind and caring person and I loved her. She always had a great smile on her face and positive things to say. She will definitely be missed. I know she was a wonderful mother in the ways I see Patti as a mother and grandmother. May you find comfort knowing your love soothed her in her final hours.

Peggy and Patty,
I am so sorrow to learn of your Mom’s passing. She was a beautiful lady both inside and out. My parents always enjoyed being with her and Bob at Burbank Trinity functions. My thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry for the loss of Carolyn she was a wonderful person. My mom and Carolyn were friends. We had connected with her after many years when we ran into her at a spring training game in Winter Haven and it was as if no time had passed. She funny, friendly and not afraid to speak her mind. She was truly a special person. I will remember her fondly and our shared love of baseball. Rest easy Carolyn..
Aunt KK was a sweet and caring person. I have many fun memories of spending time with her at her house in Lodi as a child. She loved Jesus with all her heart And I’m comforted to know she is with Him now. My deep condolences to all her family.
Peggy and family, I’m so sorry to see you’ve lost your sweet mother. She and Mom were such dear, dear friends. Mom shared stories and laughs over their many outings. We lost Mom in June and I’m sure she and Carolyn are already chatting and catching up.
Deepest Condolence to the family. Carolyn will be missed very much.
Peggy & Patti. I’m so sorry to hear that your mom has passed way. I always remember your family as fun, former neighbors in Burbank and loved seeing & catching up with your mom over the years at Memorial Day services. She was a true friend to my mom as well. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days ahead and precious memories to keep her alive in your hearts. In love and friendship, Julie Daugherty Craycraft
