Carolyn grew up in Crescent City and attended Bess Maxwell and Crescent Elk, and then graduated from Del Norte High School in 1982. She enjoyed being a part of the baton and dance group where they were in the fair and parades performing different dances and marching twirling batons. Carolyn was in Girl Scouts and had her mom as her leader for several years. She loved going four wheeling with the family - and oh the stories they can tell, spending time with family playing in the snow, surfing with friends and camping especially at Siskiyou Forks. Carolyn was daddy’s little girl until the day she left us. She became a type 1 diabetic at 8 years old after slipping into a coma for three days. She was told she would never have children or live a full life, but she didn’t let that stop her from living life the way she wanted.

After graduation Carolyn along with her mom and dad moved to Blue Lake, where she started her life as a mother, which she never thought would be possible. She met the love of her life, David Luis, in 1991, and they later married in 1998 and built a life with in Eureka. They celebrated 19 years of marriage before separating and co-parenting as friends. Carolyn worked several different jobs trying to see where she wanted to be, from waitressing at the Pantry to being a CNA in an assisted living facility to in-home health care, working at Winco, Target and being a stay at home mom and later grandma.
