Ashro Woman: Carolyn L.
Meet Ashro Woman of the Week, Carolyn from Jacksonville Florida
This lovely pastor is married to a Bishop! She credits her husband as her biggest influence, “He has pushed me and always encouraged me to be all that God desires for me to be.”
As a patient accounts representative at a hospital, she helps, listens and encourages patients. As a mother, she strives “To be an example. To not judge my children, but to always love them, to encourage them and to let them know that I am so proud of them.”
For Carolyn, faith is what gives life substance. “Faith is what keeps me hoping and not giving up.” Carolyn also enjoys sewing, watching movies and FASHION. “When I put an outfit on, I own it, and I embrace it!”
