Carolyn then decided to re-enter the work force in 1995 where she worked as the Branch Administrator for Manitoba and Northwest Ontario at GardaWorld Cash Services for 20 years. Carolyn enjoyed spending time with her grandson, watching old movies and English T.V. shows (Coronation Street), puzzles, relaxing on the deck, going to the lake, walks and road trips to the United States.
