I worked with Carolyn at Concord High School in Elkhart. I remember her as a little spitfire with a bit of sass and a great, fun person to have on staff. She was missed when she left us for FL. I am sorry for your loss. My husband and I had dinner with your parents at their condo in Mishawaka. We think of her everytime we got by the condo.
Please wait...
