Aunt Carolyn ... sweet, kind, and funny. Her and uncle John were the perfect pair. She always treated us as though we were her own children. All of us Schulte kids just adored her! I think of her often and it always brings a smile to my face. I know she has a special place in heaven right along side her beloved "sisters" and husband John. My mom Dorothy really loved her so much..as did we all. Aunt Carolyn...not really gone...always in my heart. Love you always!

Carolyn her husband John and there kids were a big part of our family lives growing up. She was always sweet and caring. I personally have a lot of great memories staying with them. Her and her family brought a lot of fun and joy to me and my family. She will be missed as much as John has been.

I have so many fond memories of family parties at Aunt Carolyn and Uncle John’s pool. My favorite memory of Aunt Carolyn is the tube ride at Aunt Violet’s when she needed a little liquid courage to get her down the river! I will miss her dearly. Sending love and prayers to the Grandon family.

Oh how I will miss your Mom/Grandma - Carolyn was a special friend for our family, started with her friendship with my Mom and was extended to my Dad and myself thru the years. She will be missed in the back row of Church to the annual drive looking for Christmas lights. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time Kathy And Ben Hutchins
