Often working 16-hour days, Karolyn has been a shoulder to cry on for thousands of families in Idaho during the loss of loved ones. Her son Nicholas wrote about how she is truly an angel among us helping people and families cope under such difficult circumstances.

Mary Beth requested her cash prize be donated to the April Phillips Longwell Scholarship at the Palmyra
