Carolyn was fun, easygoing, and so knowledgeable.  I always admired her and Lyla for establishing the garden, and for what it gives to the community.   All of the people involved with the garden made me feel welcome, and it was partly Carolyn's leadership that set the tone.  She made everyone  feel included and appreciated.   We worked on a variety of garden-related projects together and became good friends in a short time.  I'll never forget her, and I think that for the rest of my life, every time I am in a garden, Carolyn will come to mind.  She was a friend, a guide, a mentor, an inspiration, and an amazing gardener.  My sincere condolences to her family and many friends.   She will be greatly missed.

Carolyn was a good friend who I just happened to meet through the Willamette Community Garden. Carolyn and Lyla created a wonderful place for community members to gather and help other community members. I miss her and think of her as I work in the garden, I like to think she is now in a garden without weeds, insects, slugs and snakes. She is taking pictures and smelling the flowers.

Carolyn will be so very missed by the gardening community in Albany! She had such a giving heart. And always with a smile on her face and kind words to share. Her legacy and generosity will live on through the lives that she touched through her volunteering.
Thank you for sharing your time with us. We will miss you, Carolyn. Brooke Edmunds, OSU Extension

I served on the board of the Willamette Community Garden for many years. Under Carolyn's able stewardship as president of the garden, she cultivated many friendships and led numerous efforts to grow the garden. Her passion for our community garden was well known, and her advocacy for it within the city of Albany benefited the entire city.

Carolyn was one of the first people to welcome me into the Master Gardener Community.  Her warmth, gentleness and knowledge helped me to become an even better gardener after I joined the Williamette Community Garden.  She always had a smile on her face and was willing to help whoever needed guidance.  She and I shared many interests, and I loved just being in her presence.  My heart aches over her loss, and I send my deepest Condolences to her family.  Rest well, Carolyn. You will be deeply missed. Merri Noel

I remember a lovely visit to Willamette Community Garden where Carolyn showed me around the donation beds. Families and older folks were happily growing food for their households. Beautiful sunflowers were everywhere. I hope to one day leave a gardening legacy like Carolyn's - teaching and supporting others in building communities through growing. --Elizabeth Records - OSU Extension

Carolyn Larime passed away June 6, 2022.  Carolyn was an active Master Gardener since she completed her training in 2015. She was one of two Master Gardeners responsible for starting the Willamette Community Garden in Albany, Oregon, and devoted many hours to keep the garden functioning. She devoted many hours to the garden, instructing gardeners while all the while maintaining the garden. Every year she helped to plan, organize, promote, and grow the majority of plants for a plant sale that supports the garden. As part of the garden plan, a bed was located outside the fenced area so that people walking the nearby path (mainly homeless persons) can access fresh fruits and vegetables. Carolyn served as a Member at Large on the Linn County Master Gardeners Board and was part of the planning committee for BEEvent Pollinator Conference. She was recognized as Linn County Master Gardener of the Year in 2018. Carolyn, you will be missed.
