Carolyn graduated from Lazbuddie High School in 1956. She then attended Nursing School at South Plains College, graduating with a degree in Nursing on May 19, 1972. She was an exceptional nurse, serving patients in Lamb County for many years, starting at Littlefield Hospital and Clinic and later at Littlefield Hospitality where she was the charge nurse.

Carolyn was an excellent cook and she made the best fried chicken and chicken fried steak you could ever eat, and she was a talented seamstress. She loved her family, especially being a Mema to her grandchildren, but her great grandchildren had an extra special place in her heart. She was a woman of faith, and a member of First Baptist Church in Littlefield.
She is survived by a daughter, Sharla Hamblin and husband, Bill of Littlefield; son, Kent Seales of Wolfforth; two grandchildren, Andrea Shea Cantu and husband, Abel of Littlefield and Bradley David Hamblin of Big Springs; and five great grandchildren, Joey Weaver and David Wyatt Hamblin both of Stanton and Cade Ian Cantu, Abel Chandler Cantu and Christian David Cantu all of Littlefield
Waiting for her in Heaven was her husband, James W. Jackson who passed January 6, 2006; two brothers, James Beavers and Joe Don Beavers; her parents; and a daughter-in-law, Claudette Seales.
