Carolyn E. Barley, a lifetime resident of Liberty, NY, passed away on Sunday, February 3, 2013 at Catskill Regional Medical Center in Harris, NY, at the age of 95.
She was born on October 20, 1917 in Liberty to the late John H. and Edna Grant Ernhout. She was the widow of Winfield Barley, who predeceased her in 2007.
Carolyn was a graduate of Liberty High School and Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. Upon graduation, she returned to Liberty where she spent the remainder of her life. It was here she met “Win”, the “Love of Her Life”, to whom she was married for 66 memorable years.
She was a faithful lifelong member of the Liberty United Methodist Church. During those many years she was a member of the United Methodist Women, the Couples Club, and the Church Choir.

A family statement reads: Carolyn enjoyed some of the “Best Times of Her Life” volunteering at Liberty-Loomis Hospital where patients and visitors alike were met with a smile and made to feel that someone really cared. Family was the most important part of her life. Talking about her four granddaughters and five great-grandchildren always made her smile. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother and will always be remembered by those who met her as a “True Lady.”
Carolyn is survived by one son, John Randy Barley and his wife, Linda; two daughters, Cindy Short and her husband, Don, and Karen Jones and her companion, Bill Beach, all of Liberty; four grandchildren, Amanda Short of White Lake, NY, Melissa Scheidelman and her husband, Scott, of Cazenovia, NY, Allison Pena and her husband, Brian, of Lexington, SC and Heather Barley and her companion, Bill Lathrop, of Columbia, SC; great-grandchildren, Jake, Alex and Abby Scheidelman and Laney and Gabby Pena; a cousin, Nancy Johnston, and her special longtime friend, Evelyn Case.
