She was volunteer commissioner over the Old Hickory Girls Softball League for several years. She also helped with Old Hickory Baseball. She belonged to a Bowling League back in the days. She bowled a perfect game of 300. Her plaque is at Donelson Bowling Alley.
Carolyn played and help coached the Old Hickory United Methodist Church softball ladies’ team. She was a great short stop, pitcher and first base. She actually could play any of the positions on the field. When her daughters were old enough to join the church team; they played ball together. Carolyn coached for many years at the Old Hickory Girls Softball league and Old Hickory Basketball league.
Carolyn loved family trips to the mountains and the beach. Carolyn said Christmas started with the family trip to Pigeon Forge. She loved Christmas time. As she got older the beach trips were scheduled in October instead of July, because of cooler weather.
She truly enjoyed going to Cracker Barrel. Carolyn made many friends over the years at Cracker Barrel. It was her stomping grounds for friends, delicious food and of course shopping.
She was known as Mom to many because of her involvement at Old Hickory Community Center, Old Hickory softball field, PTA & PTO at the DuPont Elementary/DuPont Jr. High school, boy and girl scouts and Old Hickory United Methodist Church and her children’s friends. She was always involved with the community.
Carolyn graduated from Dupont High School in 1954. She was proud to be a DuPont bulldog alumnus. She was a basketball manager for the high school basketball team with Paula Boatman Murray.
She earned a lifetime membership in the PTA at DuPont Elementary and DuPont Jr. High. Carolyn was even involved with the PTO at DuPont Elementary a couple years ago.
Carolyn loved to oil paint. She was an awesome artist. She said she couldn't draw, but she could paint.
One unique tidbit about Carolyn; her uncle Ira I. Robinson “Shorty” wanted her to race cars because of her skill of driving. He was going to provide the car and be her sponsor.
Family was very important to her. She loved them dearly.
Carolyn has touched the lives of so many and will truly be missed.
