Spartanburg, SC - Carolyn Leonard Law, beloved wife of the late John Adger Law, Jr. journeyed into heaven on August 22, 2006. Born in Spartanburg on August 27, 1909, Carolyn Law was educated in Spartanburg public schools and graduated from Converse College. She also attended the University of Virginia school of library science. Most of her life was lived in Spartanburg with the exception of a few years in NY when her husband was stationed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during WW II. In 2005 she moved into Laurelwoods Assisted Living in Columbus, NC to be near family.

Known for her quick wit and ability to turn daily experiences into wonderful stories, Carolyn was an active member of the Spartanburg community. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church going back to the Cradle Roll Department. She served on the boards of the Georgia Cleveland Home, The Junior League, and numerous other civic organizations. Gardening and reading were among her favorite activities, and she was nicknames "Rab" because of her love for the story of Peter Rabbit. Her greatest joy was reading to and playing with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She is survived by daughters Louise Hagy of Landrum, SC and Jane Allen of Atlanta, GA; grandchildren, Roger Hagy, Jr. of Charlotte, NC, Carolyn Hagy of Southern Pines, John Hagy of Bakersville, NC, Laura Noel of Atlanta, GA, Connie Haley of Nashville, TN and Russ Allen of Crofton, MD; and seven great grandchildren.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00am Friday at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens conducted by Rev. Dave Hosick. Visitation will follow at the cemetery.
