Caroline was born December 30, 1925, to Lawrence and Caroline "Stoddard" Myers in Alamosa, Colorado and passed from this life January 21, 2022, at her home in Enid, Oklahoma.
She was raised and educated in Alamosa and Wallenberg and moved to Denver at the age of sixteen attending East Denver High School and graduating with the class of 1942. She went on to attend Kansas State University where she met her husband Jack Hodgden and majored in Home Economics. The couple was married September 1, 1945, in Denver, Colorado. The couple moved to Fort Bliss where he was stationed for a short time and finally to Enid, Oklahoma in 1946 where she attended Phillips University and achieved her bachelor's degree and master's degree in education. She taught in the Enid Public Schools for several years and enjoyed it greatly.
She loved to knit, making sweaters for her grandchildren and hats for the cathedral in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She also enjoyed Needlepoint and made Christmas stockings for all of her grandchildren. She was a member of the Catholic church where she was very active teaching Sunday School and was a member of the Women's Auxiliary. She loved to collect antiques, travel with her family, spend time at their home in Santa Fe where she learned to ski, ride horse back and even climbed a mountain at the age of seventy! She was always up for an adventure, ready to go, and was a voracious reader. She always had a very positive and gracious attitude, never complaining.
She is survived by her sons, Larry and Rhoda Hodgden and Mike and Martha Hodgden; seven grandchildren, Jeff and his wife Julie, Jack and his wife Jessica, Wiley and his wife Hannah, Heather Miller, Paul, David and his wife Natalie, John; twelve great-grandchildren; and numerous other family members and friends.
