"Carolyn was a wonderful friend. We met in the sixth grade and became close friends in the seventh grade. There were years when we didn?t see each other much due to living far apart and life circumstances. We kept in touch from time to time with letters. Just before she was diagnosed with cancer she gave me the letters I had written to her to keep with the ones she sent me. She did this because I am a writer and she thought I might want to use them in my memoirs. She always encouraged me to keep writing. Whenever we got together over the years it was if we had never been apart. We could and did talk to each other about anything and everything. In our retirement years we traveled together with her husband Jim and my husband Jerry. We loved each other a lot and I am missing her so much. My sympathy goes out to Jim, and to Carolyn?s whole family. "
In loving memory of
Carolyn J. (Shauman) Robinson

She retired from IMMI of Westfield, Indiana after many years of service.
Carolyn enjoyed sewing and traveling with her husband of 61 years. She appreciated leading an active lifestyle and was a member of The Kokomo YMCA. She loved spending time with her 12 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren and including them in their travels; as she felt family was the most important thing in her life.
After many months of bravely fighting pancreatic cancer she passed away peacefully sleeping next to the love of her life. As a bright light in the world she will be greatly missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers and cards the family would like donations to be made to American Cancer Society and The Kokomo YMCA in Carolyn's name.
