She enjoyed cooking, baking, shooting firearms, reading, and riding with her husband on her 2007 Honda Goldwing. The Goldwing was purchased for her by her husband for her 60th birthday. She loved riding in the Smoky Mountains and Panama City Beach areas.
She believed in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She attended and was an active member of First Baptist Church of Dunlap Tennessee.
She is survived by her husband Barry Kimsey, her daughter Amanda Kimsey, and son Joshua Kimsey, his wife Lisa, and their daughter Hailey Brooke Kimsey.

She will be cremated, and a celebration of her life will be held Saturday, September 10, at First Baptist Dunlap Worship Center at 2:00 p.m. Family will receive friends from noon to 2:00 p.m. Those who desire to make donations in memory of her can make them either to First Baptist Church Dunlap Tennessee or Samaritan’s Purse.
Carolyn was a wonderful person, my friend, it will be sad to come to Dunlap and not be able to visit and enjoy Mexican Dinner… but I am happy to know she is at our Lord’s feet and enjoying manna instead of just Mexican food. Will see you again Carolyn. Much love to Barry, Amanda and Josh and to rest of the family. Patty Younger
