They later moved to Beaufort, North Carolina where they attended First Free Will Baptist Church. Carolyn’s attention to detail and ability to multi-task provided her with excellent work skills which she applied to her administrative employment at the Carteret County Health Department, where she worked faithfully for 40 years.
