He preceded her in death on April 13, 2010.

Carolyn grew up in Dougherty, graduating from Sulphur High School. After she and Duffy married, they made their home in Florida for many years, where she worked for Aero Dynamics. Following the death of her husband, Carolyn moved to Sulphur, where she spent several years working as an operator for the Chickasaw Telephone Company.

In her spare time, Carolyn enjoyed fishing and hunting, often making bigger catches and kills than others in her group. In her later years, due to failing health, she mostly enjoyed playing Mahjong games on her phone.
