She was born on December 11, 1933, the daughter of Frederick Bates and Gladys Eliza Corpe Bates. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Anderson, Indiana. Her faith shined brightly, one of her favorite sayings was, "Well, praise the Lord!" On June 3, 1955, Carolyn married Gordon Edwin Bolt in Providence, Rhode Island.

Carolyn loved books, this was very apparent by her massive collection and her expert book lovers advice she gave, "Got a problem, read a book." Quilting, knitting, and sewing were some of Carolyn's favorite pastimes. One of her most recognizing features was her infectious laugh; she dearly loved to laugh. Carolyn will be greatly missed.
