Carolyn worked at Ettelbrick Shoe Company before joining the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department as Secretary/Dispatch operator until her retirement in 1998. She also was superintendent of the Floral, Arts, and Ag Hall at the Cumberland County Fair. Carolyn served as Fair Board Director and President of the Fair until 2010. She was a devoted member of the Plum Grove Church, where she served as trustee, custodian, and pianist for years. Carolyn’s greatest joy was spending time with her family.
