She enjoyed such things as; listening to oldies music, dancing, playing cards, horseshoes, softball, basketball but most of all growing up with her family on the lakes. She was an avid sports fan especially Notre Dame, Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears. Carolyn was so proud of all her children and grandchildren that she never missed a game until her health forced her to, but her heart was still there cheering, as she will now do in heaven.
