Carolyn Dame passed quietly the morning of September 14, 2015 after a period of declining health.
Carolyn was born in Hendersonville, NC September 24, 1927 to Lillian Cochran Reed and Elva Clarence Reed, growing up in St. Petersburg, Florida, the second of four sisters. Graduating from Duke University, she became a speech therapist in several school systems in North and South Carolina.
On August 15,1953, she married Byron Case Dame of Syracuse, NY, and together they had many adventures over the next nearly 62 years, residing in Clemson for the last 40 years.
Carolyn was often able to travel throughout the world with Byron during his career, and they continued to travel for pleasure in their retirement, meeting and making friends in many areas throughout the US and Europe.
