She worked as a dedicated physical therapist for 45 years and actively participated in various international and national physical therapy organizations. Carolyn was a life-long supporter of Saint Louis University - Go Billikens! She was a member of the Saint Louis University 1818 & DuBourg Society, two giving societies recognizing those that give generously to the University.
