Carolyn spent her life working hard, managing several convenience stores in the area including Rapid Flow and Rocky Top Market. She was known for her strength, independence, and the steady determination that guided every chapter of her life.

Outside of work, Carolyn filled her days with simple pleasures that brought her joy. She cherished her dogs, sunny afternoons, and long stretches of summer spent by her backyard pool, where her great-grandchildren happily splashed and played by her side. She enjoyed reading, working crossword puzzles, shopping and having lunch with friends, and vacations spent at the beach that offered laughter and ocean air. At home, she loved listening to her husband Tim sing and play his guitar, a sound that filled their home with warmth and comfort. To those who knew her best, Carolyn was a woman with grit, heart, humor, and a spirit that never wavered.
