Aunt Carolyn will always be remembered for her peaceful spirit and he loving nature. Some years ago we made a trip to Florida to visit family. One of the items on our bucket list was to go fishing. On a cloudy day my 7 months pregnant wife, Uncle Bill and I set out on the rough ocean. Aunt Carolyn just looked at us and said "Oh my goodness!" in her wonderful Carolina draw but she did not voice any doubt of our crazy plans. She may have thought we were crazy to go out on rough seas but all she could say was "Oh my!". We returned seasick and tired with our catch of the day. At that point, some doubt or criticism would have been justified but all I can remember is Aunt Carolyn thanking us for the fish and smiling brightly and saying "Oh my goodness!"
I can't remember a harsh word or a critical remark ever coming from Aunt Carolyn.
She will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Aunt Caroline was one of those few people who never had a mean thing to say about anyone. She was honest, had a strong faith and was a true example of a model Christian. She took care of me when my mom had Linda, and I always looked forward to seeing her and the Stameys for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know she loved the beach just like my mom. I can remember her tackling the waves of Myrtle Beach in her golden years. She will be sorely missed. But I know her inner beauty will linger on through her sons and her family and friends. Her light will always shine...
My Aunt Carolyn shared numerous family vacations. Her husband Bill usually drove all of us across country. We had wonderful times. Aunt Carolyn loved her family, extended members and all. She contacted all of us on a regular basis just to keep up. She was always interested in our various endeavors. She will be greatly missed!!!
