Carolyn was always an avid crafter but finally found her true passion, quilting. She made many beautiful quilts and wall hangings for family & friends. She was a member of the Olathe Quilter's Guild for many years.
Carolyn's relationship with her 5 sisters was the longest and most special bond she had in life.
