Carolyn was a faithful member of Jewel City Church and she was employed by WesBanco, retiring in 2005 with over 20 years of service, and she then worked at Blue Dot Energy Services and enjoyed the many friendships she had made. Carolyn was known for her infectious smile, strong faith and love for Jesus. She loved her family more than anything. She was also an avid WVU football and basketball fan. She cherished her friendships she had made throughout this journey and was thankful for all the texts, cards, phone calls and support while battling her illness.
