Carilyn delighted in the company of her children, Allison and Shai, and has benefited from and was reinvigorated by her grandson, Anthony Frank, during her high adventure ‘babysitting’ enterprises.

Born August 15, 1969, Carilyn was the fourth child of Carolyn Harding and Alvin Strauser Pate. She is survived by a daughter, Allison Cervantes (Robert); a son, Shai Thomas; a grandson, Anthony Frank Cervantes; her siblings: Penny Gillett, Daniel H. Pate, Jason H. Pate (Jodi), Travis H. Pate, Frank J. Hammond II (Denise), David Hammond (Beverly), Paige Chaskelis (Aaron); her stepfather, Frank J. Hammond; and many nieces and nephews.
