Carolyn cherished her friendship with her dear lifelong friend Monica Dolahanty Francois, of Belleville. Another great friend, Shirley Kirsop, helped Carolyn (in her words) keep her sanity throughout the many years of their friendship.

Carolyn loved people and she loved to laugh, very often finding humor where others saw none. She enjoyed many hobbies and crafts and loved to travel. Her greatest joy was being a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and good friend.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; her brother, Bertel; and her sister, Joyce; a granddaughter, Erin Ann; as well as her grandparents; aunts and uncles; and two nephews and a niece.

Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Joyce and her spouse, Linda Hurff, of Locust Grove, VA; her son, Gordon and his wife, Gwen (Reilly), of Kildeer, IL; three grandchildren, Nathan Reilly (Sarah) Sisson of Tacoma, WA, Brian Kenneth Sisson of Stevens Point, WI, and Casey Sisson Bouska (Nate) of Edgerton, WI; one great-grandchild, Erin Reilly Sisson of Tacoma, WA; and many nieces, nephews; great nieces and nephews; and dear friends.
