"She loved growing up in Dutchess Park and her face lit up whenever she reminisced about her years there. Carolyn was a friend to all she met. When there was a friend in need, she was there to help pick up the pieces," her obituary states.
She was the marketing director for the family business, The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie.
Her brother, Frank Pallett, was the owner of The Chance. Frank passed away in August at the age of 51.
"Both sad and angry about the loss of another friend today. The only bright spot on this dark day is that you are reunited with your mother and brother who we all know you loved very dearly. Rest easy Carolyn Pallett Brophy. Nothing but love for the Pallett and Chance family," WPDH DJ John Tigman Rutigliano wrote on Facebook.
Carolyn also served as a director for RADD – Rockers Against Drunk Driving.
