Carolyn was always enthusiastic and cheerful when ever I saw her. She was a friend of my family as they all attended HPark and SMU. No doubt she will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Cathy, Clif and all her family.

I have known Carolyn since 2009 when she joined the Greater Dallas Chapter, NSDAR. She was an active member, a friend to all, and a very lovely lady. She will be missed.
I pray you find comfort through friends and family and peace with God.
Blessings,

I have the most wonderful memories of Mrs.Slaughter from my childhood. Childhood on Westminster was so much fun ! Mrs.Slaughter ALWAYS had a smile on her face . I remember the joy she brought by just walking into a room. The world was a better place with her in it ! Now heaven has another star ! Many blessings to her family. Love,Debbie Goodwin Lloyd
