Update My Info
Wohelo, Carolyn...
The family of Carolyn Louise Graf announced her
unexpected passing on September 17, 2009, following knee
replacement surgery.
Carolyn was a lifelong member of Camp Fire. She was a
Camp Fire Girl growing up and as an adult she was a
group leader in Lakewood.
In addition to being active
in her Leader’s Association she always found the time to
be the “music lady” at every large Camp Fire gathering.
No piano? No problem, Carolyn, a professional musician,
brought her own. Carolyn was also a member of the Camp
Fire Sister Daisy Hillbilly Band, which was comprised of
some truly untalented musical wannabes, and Carolyn.
Some how “the Band” that only intended on doing one
performance, developed a life of its own and ended up
performing for several years raising money for camp
scholarships.
Carolyn was a busy lady who squeezed Camp Fire into her
life because she cared about kids and she loved Camp
Fire. Carolyn; always willing to help, quick to laugh
and so very, very special.
