She was born in Lafayette in November 1942 to the late Arthur V. and M. Pauline Halstead. When she was in 3rd grade the family moved to West Point. Carolyn was a 1960 graduate of Southwestern High School. She (we) considered her classmates as family and stayed in touch over the years with many of them.

After closing the beauty shop, she worked for the Tippecanoe County Court House, retiring in 2003 after 25 years of service. She was a charter member of the West Point Baptist Church and played piano and organ until its permanent closing. On June 24, 1962, she married David W. Patrick, he survives.
