Carolyn was born January 10, 1949, in Cabin Creek, West Virginia, a daughter to William and Jewell (Easterling) Click.

She graduated from Braceville High School in 1967, and furthered her education by receiving an associate degree from Youngstown College.

On February 7, 1970, she married a gentleman by the name of Nicholas “Nick” Furrie. Together they started a family and born to this union were three boys: Jason, Jared, and Matthew.

She had worked in a variety of occupations throughout her career. These included: a clerk for the Trumbull County Auditor’s Office; a former teacher’s aide with handicap students for the Warren City School District; an assembler with Packard Electric; a clerk in the accounting department of the Trumbull County Engineer; and Democratic Precinct “A” Committee Woman, Vienna.

Mrs. Furrie was a member of the Shiloh Full Gospel Church, Girard, Ohio; Jefferson's Democratic Club; Shiloh's Women Auxiliary; and she helped organize drives for St. Jude's Children Hospital.

In her spare time, she enjoyed singing in the church, and cooking. However, she absolutely loved being a mom & grandma the most.
