Carolyn was born on May 17, 1942, in Charleston, South Carolina to the late Mr. Jerry Walker and Mrs. Vesta Mae Saturday Walker. She was a devoted member of Byron United Methodist Church where she enjoyed cooking many meals for the youth for over 20 Years. If you ever got to experience her Chocolate Delight or Cherry Nut Jello; you were very lucky. She would always make sure to test out your food to make sure it was good enough for you to eat. Carolyn enjoyed dancing, especially line dancing at the church. Her trip to Mexico, where she was crowned "Queen" of the Daughters of the Nile, was amongst some of her finest memories. She loved her annual meetings with the class of 1960 from A. L. Miller. Carolyn had a heart of gold, a nurturing spirit and a strong mind. She touched the lives of everyone she knew, and she will truly be missed until they meet again.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, James "Jimmy" McKinley Self; sons, James "Todd" Self and Charles "Randy" Randell Self; brother, Ronnie Walker; sister, Cynthia Walker; and grandson, Nicholas Self.
