The family relocated to Columbia, South Carolina where Carolyn continued to work as a bank manager until she retired.Carolyn was an amazing, kind, loving, gentle, and fun daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, auntie, great-auntie, and friend. She was always fly with an "I woke up like this" attitude. Carolyn lived for the present knowing that tomorrow was not promised. She had a love for sewing, sports, shopping, dancing, and traveling. She could make a mean potato salad and deviled eggs that was a big hit among the crowd. Carolyn loved her family and was extremely proud of her children. Most of all, Carolyn was a strong woman. The doctors said she would only live 3-4 years when she was diagnosed with cancer and God blessed her to live for 14 years. She fought to the very end, and if she had it her way she would still be fighting today!Carolyn is survived by her loving parents, Pleasant W. Epps and Catherine G.
