Carolyn's obituary
Carolyn, with her husband, Don and beloved terrier PD, explored North America extensively from their motorhomes, enjoying good times with the friends they met along the way. She was an avid golfer, once receiving certification from the Tennessee Golfers Association for a hole-in-one during a tournament.
Carolyn had a zest for life and possessed a playful sense of humor, still flirting with the fellows, young and old, until her final days. She was a lifelong animal lover and saved many cats and dogs, including a sick cat she carried to the veterinarian in the basket of her bicycle at the age of 10.
Carolyn took great pride in knowing each of her children were thriving, successful, and happy. Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband Donald, sister, Janice Fitzgerald and brother, Roger Walker. She is survived by her sister, Rosemary Waring; her children, Jeffery W. Harms, Sharon J. Harms, Michelle A. Larsen, Wendy C. Birt, Lisa R. Freeman Smith, and Linda J. Mow; stepchildren David Trainer and Donald J. Trainer, Jr.; 12 grandchildren; and 9 great-grandchildren.
The family will hold a private memorial in Grand Haven, Michigan in the summer of 2019.
