Carolyn was born January 26, 1958, at the Victorville AFB in California to Frances and Eugene

Bump. She attended Grapevine High School. She met the love of her life, Jim Lackey while

working at University Computing Company (UCC) in Dallas in 1978. They were married on May

24, 1980. They spent 46 years together raising their two sons in Grapevine Texas, and Warrenville,

Illinois. Carolyn was very supportive of her son’s academics and sports. In Grapevine, she

volunteered for their school PTA and was involved in the new school playground project for all

children to enjoy. Later, she took pride in working at Wheaton North High School in the

Registers Office. Carolyn loved having the family together and made all the gatherings feel

special. The highlight of the summer was always the July 4th parties she hosted at their

Warrenville home. She was rarely found without a book that she was reading. Carolyn was very

creative and enjoyed various arts & crafts throughout the years. She took pride in making

special birthday cakes for her granddaughter throughout the years. Her green thumb in the

garden with her flowers & plants was unmatched. In 2020 she & Jim returned to their home
