Carolyn Kozyra

Carolyn F Kozyra, 82, of Bedford, NH, died peacefully October 1, 2018 at Community Hospice House in Merrimack , surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Winchester, NH, December 22, 1935, she was the daughter of Clarence and Marjorie Fosdick. She was educated in Winchester schools, and graduated from Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, NH as a Registered Nurse.
She worked in a number of diverse medical facilities including Boston Children's Hospital (her favorite), the McLean Home of Simsbury, CT, and the Manchester VA Hospital.

Upon retirement she spent long days working in her flower garden, always watched over by the family's two Golden Retrievers whom she loved.
