Carolyn was one of the nicest ladies I've ever
known...always. We visited often and talked a lot about fabric and sewing when I worked at the fabric center in
Carlisle. She was an excellent seamstress. I feel blessed to have known her and call her my friend. She was always
so kind. I'll miss her.

Caroly was a co-worker and friend.We worked together starting
in 66 at Piezo. I remembered her long before that picking up Mr. Spraglin for lunch every day at Letort School. Bill
was my 5th grade teacher. This was right after he started teaching. When I started working at Piezo I worked in
the sealing dept. and Carolyn worked in the lab. Working with her you knew she was a very private person but she had
this great gift of caring about people. She was a beautiful caring and loving person that will be missed and thought of often.
We have many blessing in our lifetime and Carolyn and her
smile was one of mine. My Sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
