She enjoyed activities with her children whether it was ice skating, hockey, or other sports, visits to the beach, or watching TV on family night. Her happiest days were spent preparing and dressing the family up in costumes to celebrate their favorite holiday, Halloween, as it was as she said, “fun.” She adored babies/children whether they were her own, or those of friends, family or people she just met. No child was ever a stranger to Carolyn. She had a talent for thinking outside the box and finding solutions whether at work, home or for those around her always offering to help those in need, which made her a great friend.

Her entire being was focused on the love of her family and their happiness and her greatest gift was her time. She was a devoted mother and wife with a fierce support of her family instilling the proud heritage of her and her husband’s family history. Carolyn is preceded in death by her father, Dr. John Randall.
