Carolyn's true loves, however, were her family and church. She served both her family and God with her whole being. Her service to the church included a commitment to the Daughters of the King and the Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Nashville. For her family, she has been the cornerstone of support for several generations. She will be missed by everyone who knew her, but hopefully we can all learn from her compassion and charity.Services will be held at St. David's Episcopal Church at 11 a.m. Friday, January 2, 2015.
