What followed were many happy years and four grandchildren and a step-grandchild were added to the family.

In Story City Carolyn worked at the hospital for 17 years, also, at Grandpa’s Toy Box and the Carousel Tea Room. She enjoyed family and she loved to cook. Carolyn loved being a Grandma and she enjoyed the time she spent playing card games, board games and video games with her grandchildren.
