She married Paul S. Nichols, and they had two children, Debra Marie and Steven John, and they raised their family in Moorhead. Carolyn married Duane F.

Carolyn had several careers over the course of her life: Northwestern Bell, ABC Seamless, Family Christian Counseling, owner/operator of The Boutique in Fargo, Wells Fargo Bank and, most recently, Dakota Vines Vineyard and Winery where she was a beloved hostess/server, a champion bottle-filler, a cheerful face, and our number one fan.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Rosie Rheault, brothers-in-law James Jamieson and Warren Olson, and nephew Jimmy Jamieson.
In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Fargo.
Carolyn was an incredible wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandma, Gigi, and friend. She loved adventure, and family always came first. She cherished every holiday, birthday party, concert, play, and game. Carolyn was a beautiful person, and she will be truly missed. Honor her memory by appreciating each day, holding your loved ones close, and supporting them in everything they do.
