Carolyn was born to Fred and Edna Kolpin on January 9, 1934, in Cherokee, IA. She was raised on the family farm located in Aurelia, IA. She had two brothers, older brother Larry Dean Kolpin and younger brother Frederick George Kolpin. She also was surrounded by a large and loving extended family. Carolyn attended country school and often described walking to school in snow storms, hanging onto Larry's coattails for protection. Carolyn loved the farm in Iowa and as a teenager earned her pilot’s license. She enjoyed flying with her father for many years. She graduated from Aurelia High School in 1951, where she was involved in many activities, including cheerleading. She then attended Wayne State Teachers College in Wayne, NE, where she was a cheerleader, maintained a high GPA, and graduated with a teaching degree. She there met her husband, Donald E. Henderson. Don and Carolyn were married July 19, 1953, at the Evangelical Reformed Church, Peterson, IA. Carolyn taught school in Wayne before Don was drafted into the US Army. (Don often said he was Elvis's replacement, since he entered into service the same day Elvis was released.) While stationed in Chicago, IL, the couple had their first child, Lari Denise, born July 27, 1957. After Don’s service was completed, the family moved to Alliance, NE, where Don joined his father in business. Carolyn worked in the Alliance Public Schools and also taught at rural school District #2. Later, she worked as a bookkeeper for Doc Von Tour, at the Alliance Safeway store, and then for George E Roe until he passed away. Carolyn was then employed by Howard Curtiss CPA, and finally for the John Kiefer and Scott Moeller Partnership. She thoroughly loved working with numbers and had many favorite clients through the years. Carolyn contributed to the Alliance community in many ways. She taught Sunday School at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, was a member of Soroptimists, loved to play Bridge, was a 4-H Leader, and shared her baked goods. In particular, she often channeled the power of Heaven into her apple cream pie, which became a scandalous family secret and created years of holiday mania. Carolyn also loved gardening. Her son-in-law Robby used to say that Carolyn could throw seeds over her shoulder and they would grow. Those close to her knew how much she loved her friends and family and how stopping by for a cup of coffee would make her day. Most of all, she instilled in her family the character and toughness to get over life’s bumps, a gentleness in how she approached life. Funeral services will be held September 25, 2015 at the Alliance Berean Church. Burial will be in the Alliance Cemetery.
