Carolyn’s legacy lives on through her devoted children: son Todd Clough and his wife Janet of Langdon, and daughter Kathy Foster and her husband Tim of Woodruff, SC. She embraced her role as a stepmother with open arms, sharing her love with John Latham and his wife Danielle of Morrisville, NY, and Michelle Latham Gonzalez of Danbury, CT. Her vibrant spirit and nurturing heart were cherished by her grandchildren, James, Kassandra, Johnathon, Josiah, Corrina Gonzalez, Thomas and Robyn Latham, Adam Gunn, Alex Clough, Darryl Rogers, and Brittany Chambers.
