Carolyn worked a couple of jobs outside of the home at Nebels Knitting Co and Bane Elementary school as a substitute lunch lady.

She enjoyed the annual Papa’s birthday dinner in Belmont, NC to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday until his 99 birthday and the Watts Christmas party to visit with her aunts, uncles, cousins and tons of children.
