Carolyn was born on November 3, 1938, in Cordell, Oklahoma, the daughter of Henry Holman Hay and Viola (Beals) Hay. At a young age, Carolyn moved from Cordell to Oklahoma City, where she attended school, graduating from Capitol Hill High School.

After completing college, Carolyn moved to Texas, where she taught for several years. She then moved to Mannford, Oklahoma, where Carolyn began teaching at Mannford Elementary. On March 2, 1985, Carolyn was united in marriage to Theodore Franklin Pendergraft, and the couple made their home in Cleveland. Carolyn later began working at Cleveland Public Schools and retired in 1991 after teaching for over 30 years.
Teaching children was Carolyn's passion. She also enjoyed going to church and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Reading was one of her favorite pastimes, and she would spend hours reading daily. Carolyn and Ted attended Wayside Chapel in Terlton.
