Carolyn's lifelong concern for the welfare of others was the inspiration for choosing nursing as her career. In addition to her nursing career, Carolyn's main concern was her family and the many friends she had been fortunate enough to have been acquainted with.

She is survived by her husband, John of the home; two sons, John Alan Rotert and wife, Jacey of Dalworthing Gardens, Texas and Steve Craig Rotert of Concordia, Kansas; two brothers, Steve Blocker of Mesa, Arizona and Steve Jackson of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; one sister, Suzanne Jackson of Anaheim, California and one grandson, Mikael Shuck.
