Carolyn and I both worked at Acxiom for many years and I found her again at Crye-Leike in Maumelle and we became lunch buddies and new found friends! I will always be thankful for the fun times we shared together.

It was truly a joy to minister to Carolyn and Hugh, bringing them the Sacrament of Holy Communion each month while serving as Vacancy Pastor of Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Maumelle. I miss her delightful desserts, her kindness towards me and my family, and her just being here to converse with. Whenever I see a flowerpot of pansies, I think of Carolyn! She is with Jesus! God bring comfort and peace to all who mourn her passing!

I will miss my beautiful Aunt Carolyn. Her smile and laugh would always brighten anyone's spirit.
My comfort will come from knowing my mother, Uncle David and my Grandparents were waiting to welcome her into Heaven.

I am saddened greatly by this. Carolyn has been on my mind and even tried to contact her through Crye Leike - a couple of weeks ago. She was a dear friend and I have many enjoyable memories with her. My prayers to the family.

Carolyn was a dear friend. We had so much fun decorating my home, and feel her compassionate touch in every room of my home. I will miss our "girls" lunch out and her very much.

My heart goes out to her family.
