Her life was filled with a vast array of activities and people, whom she touched with love, joy, and genuine care.
Carolyn was a gifted Artist showing her greatest talent in Stained Glass! She sold her work at a Gallery in Schoen Place in Pittsford, NY! Many homes display her beautiful Stained-Glass art!! She also loved painting and was a master at sewing anything from doll clothes to beautiful dresses.
Retirement and an empty nest did not slow her down.

Her energy and spirit seemed boundless, and she touched everyone she met with a caring spirit and a genuine joy for life. To know Carolyn, was to love her. Carolyn & Bruce did not want any services, only a private luncheon with family and close friends!
