Carolyn was one of my favorite ladies to talk with when I was working at the Pantry! She would come next door and chit chat with me, and she made the BEST custard pie for my Grandpa and I. I will really miss her! My condolences to the family!

Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Carolyn's passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I know that Mom and Dad always enjoyed visiting with her, and it was always nice for me to see her at the family reunions. Aunt Carolyn will truly be missed. Sincerely, Chris Fields (Henry & Virginia Easton)
