Her class was the first class to graduate from the new Foxcroft Academy in 1952. Carolyn was very proud of receiving the Husson Award, which was awarded to students who excelled in business courses. In 1953, Carolyn married Malcolm Doore and they resided in Atkinson. Together they built a successful dairy farm. They had two daughters, Katherine and Loretta. Not only did Carolyn work on the family farm, she also worked for Piscataquis County, first in the Superior Court office and then as county clerk. She found her job very fulfilling and her extraordinary work ethic was a shining example for her family members. She retired in 2004 after 30 years of service. Carolyn was predeceased by her husband, Malcolm, in 2001; her brother, Roger Knowlton, in 2007; and her parents.
