Carolyn graduated from Beaver Falls High School and Geneva College. She was a dedicated teacher at Beaver Area High School for over 35 years, who was beloved by students and faculty alike. Her loss will be deeply felt by those she touched during her long career.

Carolyn was an excellent cook. Her red clam sauce was beyond compare and always a favorite at the Christmas Eve dinner table. She enjoyed teaching, traveling, dancing, and watching both Jeopardy and CSI. She was also an 80s disco queen, a stunning beauty who was outspoken to a fault and was indeed a special lady. Her presence will be missed by many.
