A Christian, Mrs. Carolyn's favorite pastimes included reading her Bible daily, attending church, and sharing time with her family.  Bible verses describing Mrs. Carolyn’s life include Proverbs 31:10, 25-31 which reads: "Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies. Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom. Kind instruction is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness."

Those left to cherish her memories include one daughter, Susan Reese of Dumas, one son, Michael Guest (Joyce) of Oklahoma, one brother, Jarvis Smith (Sheryl) of Blue Mountain, four grandchildren, William Reese, Liz Gregory (Brandon), Scott Thompson (Melinda), and Stephanie Thompson, and three great-grandsons, Matthew Reese, James Gregory, and Josh Imbush.
