CONGRATULATIONS!, CAROLYN BROOKS-BURTON, Ms Connecticut Senior America 2007 and Thank You Pauline Martin for another beautiful and elegant pageant.

Carolyn Brooks-Burton, a native of Mulberry Florida is the mother of three wonderful children; Leroy Bryant, Jr., Preston Leon Bryant and Liama Belcher Holmes and the very proud "G" (grandmother) of three more than wonderful grandsons; Daniel A. Bryant, DaTwan Leon Bryant and JahShua Devon Holmes.
Carolyn came to Christ Temple C.O.G.I.C. in 1977 from New Hope C.O.G.I.C. She was later asked by Dr. Haynes to direct the Gospel Choir but soon found out that although she was gifted to sing she was NOT a choir director.
She was later appointed by Dr. Haynes to the position of President of the Y.W.C.C. (Young Women's Christian Council) where she currently serves.
Carolyn always knew that her gifts and talents exceeded the 4 walls of any building and sought both secular and sacred training to help increase her passion for reaching the needs of people; especially the forgotten ones. Her daily prayer became "LORD what, where, when, who and how can I help someone TODAY?" She attended Hartford Hospital's Chaplaincy Program, St. Francis Pastoral Counseling Training, The Hartford Seminary and at the age of 52 she returned to college and received a BS in Human Services.
Carolyn became a Born again Christian a the age of 14 and from this young age felt compelled as a layperson ot use her HELP gifts coupled with her gift of SINGING to go where the people are and tell them about the LOVE of Jesus.

The Ms. Senior America Pageant is
the world's first and foremost pageant to emphasize and give honor to
women who have reached the "Age of Elegance." It is a search
for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and
inner beauty of all senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy
is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America, and
our most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge, experience and
resources that the younger generation has the opportunity to build a
better society.
