Carolina loved spending time with her family, especially her grandkids and great-grandkids. Her passion for life created memories for family and friends every time we were with her. She loved deep sea fishing, camping, sewing, baking beautiful cakes, building forts with her grandchildren and she would be there to help anyone in need. We all remember her feisty, fearless and strong personality along with an amazing ability to tell a story that would captivate you. She was loved by many and never knew a stranger. She will be greatly missed.
