throughout her life, and she remained active in
many churches, cultivating lifelong friendships across the country.
Carolyn found joy in creative pursuits such as cooking, painting, crocheting, and card-making.

and met the love of her life,

She is lovingly remembered by her sister RuthDodd; daughters
Monique Bernstein (David),
