Carolyn McKinnis

Carolyn was born and raised in Tippecanoe County, where family ties run deep. She attributes her strong Catholic upbringing to her educational experience and her parents who taught her and her siblings about the importance of both family prayer and community prayer. 

Carolyn earned a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and an associate’s degree in organizational leadership and supervision from Purdue. She and her husband Phil have been blessed with ten children. They are thankful to be members of the St. Thomas Aquinas community and feel deep gratitude to the Dominicans and fellow parishioners who have accompanied them and positively impacted their lives in countless ways.
