Carolyn Sorrentino is best described as a woman of uncompromising kindness.
Now in her eighth decade, she approaches each day with positive energy, passion, and a heart full of love and support for her family, her friends, and her community. Born a Southern California beach baby, Carolyn was raised primarily by her mother and grandparents while her father was serving our country. She learned to care for cats, rabbits, chickens, and bees, and grow vegetables in the family “Victory Garden.” Eighty years later, she still grows a vegetable garden.
