Carolyn graduated from Emma Samson High School, and went on to earn her degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education, from Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. Carolyn married Jacob Fred Clodfelter on July 1, 1962, and they moved to Social Circle. She became a pillar of the community, working at Newton County Schools and Libraries, Social Circle City Schools and Libraries, and George Walton Academy. Carolyn’s love of reading, books, puzzles, and computers lead to her serving on the Social Circle City Library Board. Carolyn’s love for her community shined even brighter with her dedication to Social Circle First Baptist Church. There, she was able to show love and service to all of her community, working as a nursery attendant, Sunday School teacher, WMU member, and many different Prayer groups. In 2023, Carolyn moved to St. Marys, Georgia, where she enjoyed being close to her daughter and grandchildren. She became active and made many new friends within the St. Marys Senior Activity Center.
