Born in Rock Hill, SC, Carolyn was the cherished daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Jessie M. Stroud. She was preceded in death by her parents, who instilled in her the values of hard work and kindness that would define her life.
Carolyn was married to her loving husband, John, for an extraordinary 67 years. Together, they built a life filled with love and support, raising a family that includes their two sons, Tim Fudge of Rock Hill, SC, and Chris Fudge (Denise) of Chester, SC. Carolyn’s legacy continues through her five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, one step-grandchild, and two step-great-grandchildren, all of whom adored her and were the light of her life.
Carolyn dedicated 32 years of her life to working at Celanese, where she served as a supervisor. Her colleagues admired her for her strong work ethic and her easy-going personality. Despite her professional commitments, Carolyn always made time for her family, who were her greatest joy.
