About Caroline Earhart
From Blazer rides to biking the Katy Trail with Archie in her backpack, Caroline made a ton of amazing memories with her family. She and her father and brother finished the yearly Murph Challenge, and they just went to the Peddlers Jamboree, which was a whopping thirty-five miles away.
Caroline’s mother, along with her own hairbows, always chose the cutest ensembles. She was quite close to her brother, Luke. She enjoyed going to the convenience store to buy junk food and to play PS-4 competitively with him.
Caroline was an active girl who was on the swim team, played soccer, and started dancing at an early age. Being a perfectionist, she was determined to get her back handspring for cheerleading flawless, which she was currently working on. Creative by nature, Caroline loved crafts, painting, and music of all kinds, from Taylor Swift to Lana Del Rey. Nothing gave her greater joy than hanging out with her buddies for dance parties, sleepovers, and mall outings.
