Born March 2, 1931, to Helen (Huckins) Smith and Albert Smith of Dana Hill Road, New Hampton, she was the middle child of seven, and lived a full life of caring and generosity towards others. Growing up on a farm meant long days, full of hard work, but also fun and the camaraderie of her large family. The commonsense self-reliance she learned on the farm served her well throughout her life, as there was rarely anything she was afraid to tackle, whether it was installing carpeting, helping work on cars, or running a one-horse hay rake. She attended the one-room Dana Hill school through grade 8, and completed high school in Ashland, graduating with the class of 1949. After high school, she worked for 10 years at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Thompson on the shores of Big Squam Lake in Holderness, where she learned to drive both a Jeep and a Cadillac, learned to swim, and in the winter, enjoyed racing across the frozen lake on speed-skates. She was an avid member of the Grange, eventually meeting her future husband, Leonard, at a dance at the West Thornton Grange hall. Although she demurred on his initial dance request, he wouldn’t take no for an answer, and they were married in 1960 and moved to Plymouth. She was a strict Baptist and he a strict Catholic but their marriage prospered through mutual respect and support. For many years she maintained large vegetable and flower gardens in both Plymouth and New Hampton, much to the chagrin of her young sons who were regularly pressed into service for planting, weeding and other labor. Farming was in her blood and she kept livestock during the summers including calves, pigs, chickens and rabbits. Caroline held multiple offices in the Rebekahs, often in the role of Chaplain, and The New Hampton Garden Club. She was a member of the Bristol Baptist Church, and also active in the Plymouth United Methodist Church, often baking many dozens of bread rolls to serve at church suppers. In later years, she was a full-time caregiver to many older folks, offering transportation and in-home care to those in need. She never hesitated to offer anything she could to those who needed assistance. She and Leonard enjoyed many vacations together, and she was especially fond of ocean cruises with destinations including the Caribbean, Alaska, Scotland, and Ireland. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Leonard Sawyer, her two sons. She is also survived by her sister and brother. She was predeceased by her parents, her brothers Daniel Smith and Nance Smith, and sisters Elaine Seaver and Jospehine Moulton. Burial at the Woodstock Cemetery in Woodstock.
