Born April 12, 1948, to the late Albert and Opal Evans, Carolyn devoted her life to being a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

Elliott; one brother, Kyle (Gretchen) Evans; special niece, Michelle Evans; a host of other special nieces and nephews; special friend and nurse, Donna Gent; and a host of other special friends and family.
