Carolyn Jane (Gaffney) LaRonde, age 83, passed away on Wednesday, July 14, 2021 from Cancer at the Country Care Assisted Living Home of Farwell. She was born the daughter of the late Frank and Daisy (Albertson) Gaffney in Sears, MI. on October 14, 1937, one of six siblings, two sisters and three brothers. She was a very wonderful woman and mother. Her belief in God was very strong her whole life. She would enlighten your day and was always happy to see you. Knowing she is now in God’s hands and not in pain anymore is comforting. Carolyn loved to cook and bake; she enjoyed tending her garden and canning. She had worked as a bartender at the Eagle’s Club for 17 years as well as working at the Log Cabin Bar for nearly 10 years. She had been the owner and operator of the Swap Shop for 14 years. She will be missed dearly by all. Carolyn is survived by her two children Margie (Tom) Mackie, and Jack Fenton, her 5 grandchildren, her 2 great-grandchildren, and her brother Richard (Carol) Gaffney.
