Carolyn remained in Ann Arbor throughout the rest of her life where she worked for the University of Michigan as a mental health clinician at Counseling and Psychological Services and the Center for the Continuing Education for Women.

Carolyn was known for her keen intelligence, steadfast insistence on her privacy and her soothing euphonious voice which was infused with poise. She enjoyed close and intimate relationships with many friends and colleagues over the years. Besides God and her mother, Carolyn's greatest love was that of being a psychotherapist, employing her innate wisdom, intuition, wit, candor, and compassion to foster the healing and growth of many. She is credited with having empowered, embolden, and educated to help change and shape the lives of a plethora of people for over 50 years.
Carolyn will be lovingly remembered by a host of dear friends, colleagues, and clients whose lives she touched and forever changed.
