Madbury-Carolyn L. Hanscom- 71, of French Cross Road in Madbury, NH , died suddenly on September 13, 2019 at Wentworth Douglass Hospital.

Born in Portsmouth, NH on January 11, 1948 she was a daughter of the late Robert M. And Clara (Snyder) Carr. She attended local schools graduating from R.W. Traip Academy and M. Fabio School of hairdressing.

Carolyn owned and operated Carolyn's Hair Salon in Kittery, beginning in December of 1970 and retiring after forty-two years in 2012.

Her first love was unquestionably her family. She adored her children and loved watching her grandchildren grow and take part in their activities.

She and her husband Samuel "Buzzy" Hanscom, enjoyed time spent at their home in Melbourne Beach, Florida, where she loved watching the manatees just outside their door. Carolyn loved her time spent traveling to Spain, Jamaica, Ireland and her cherished time at camp in Canaan, Maine.

She is survived by her husband Samuel "Buzzy" Hanscom and his family, daughter Cheri and her husband Joseph Todd, son Aaron and his wife Jess Stacy, and her sisters, Stella Guptill and Marilyn Horan and her husband, Fran. Also survived by her grandchildren, Haley and Zachary Stacy.
