It took me awhile to find out that Carolyn Doweary was also Carolyn Chambers. Carolyn and I used to work at HACC in the Secretarial section for Mrs. Dorothy Ferencz. Carolyn was one of Mrs. Ferencz's teacher aides. I was truly sorry to learn that this is the same Carolyn I knew from HACC.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Carolyn was a big Sister to us growing up. A straight shooter whether good or bad.She would lend Chuck her car and we would have a great weekend. With you always my Brother. Much love. Hubie

It saddens me to learn of the passing of Ms Carolyn she was my nex door neighbor such a kind lady Avery day looked liked Christmas on her porch 📦 packages from her shopping 🛍 Ms Carolyn you will be missed rest in Heavenly peace....

May these simple words bring hope that better days are ahead of you God bless.

I met Carolyn 12 years ago at Capital Presbyterian. We became friends almost immediately. We celebrated birthdays together along with Charlie Mae. We had gone on bus trips together. Carolyn called me every day. I am missing those daily morning, afternoon and evening calls. To the family my deepest sympathy.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
