Carolyn Jean Spaulding

Carolyn Jean Spaulding of Fall City, WA passed away September 2, 2013. She was 66 years old. Carolyn was born October 15, 1946 in Seattle, WA to Dorothy Terhume and Howard Jensen. She was raised in Ballard, WA, attended Loyal Heights grade school, Whitman Jr. High and Ballard High School. After graduating, she officially began her 50 year career as a hair stylist by attending Ballard Beauty School. She was a self –employed hair dresser in various salons on the Eastside. Most recently she worked at “Hairtune” in Issaquah and she cut hair at her home for her clients she had known for more than 30 years!

Carolyn moved to Kirkland, WA after she married Robert K. “Bob” Spaulding on August 26, 1967 at her mother’s home in Ballard. They moved to Fall City, WA in 1974 to a 100 year old homestead that she worked on restoring for 40 years. She lived in this house she loved for the rest of her days.

She especially enjoyed spending time with her daughters Kristin and Robyn and four grandchildren: Anna, Kaylee, Cedar and Maryanne and spoiling her dog “Poppy” and three cats: Eby, Ivy, and Maxi. Her daughters remember how much their mom enjoyed being outdoors, working in her garden, watching the humming birds and tending to her chickens. Her love of animals and gardening has been passed on to both her daughters and her grandchildren.

Carolyn is remembered as a very kind and generous person. There are countless people she has helped over the years. She was frequently known to go above and beyond in helping others in what-ever ways they needed.

Carolyn is survived by her daughters: Kristin Tucker of Fall City, WA and Robyn Atkins of Carnation, WA. She is also survived by her 100 year old mother Dorothy Jensen, and older brother Tom Jensen both of Maple Valley, WA. She will also be missed by her beloved grandchildren.
