She moved to Boston and worked there for a brief time, then moved to Bangor, where she met Jack Perry Jr. They met on a blind date at her friend's apartment, Marion Levesque. Jack loved Carolyn very deeply, so much he would hitchhike home from Virigina on his weekends off from the Naval Service just to see her.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Cheryle Nelson and Holly Drew for all their care and support during Carolyn's time at home. They provided excellent in-home care and helped the family get through a difficult time.
