Carolyn found great happiness in the simple pleasures of rural, country living. She had a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, her pets, tending to her flowers, and growing vegetables in her garden. She took pride in cooking and canning, preserving the fruits of her labor. Carolyn also had a special interest in Native American history and enjoyed searching for and collecting Indian artifacts. She was known for her very large collection of pig figurines. She was a strong-willed, independent woman that lived life her own way.

Carolyn was a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church and also regularly attended Plantersville United Methodist Church.
