Carolyn H. Dalton June 14, 1946 - January 6, 2025

Carolyn H. Dalton, 78, formerly of Macungie, PA, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, January 6, 2025. She was a devoted wife of the late Dr. Augustine I. Dalton, Jr. Born in Richmond, VA, Carolyn was the daughter of the late William and Mildred (Camden) Harris. She was a graduate of Manchester High School where she was a member of her community outreach sorority.

She truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; spending time with her family – especially her 7 grandchildren, creating beautiful stained glass, traveling the world with her late husband and border collie, and gardening.
