The daughter of Arthur V. & Frances (Merrow) Goeckler, she was born on July 19, 1932 in New Haven, Connecticut. Carolyn was a graduate of Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts, where she had been a member of Phi Theta Kappa. A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Carolyn began a long career with Martin-Marietta after her discharge as a computer systems analyst.
