Carolyn and her husband Bill live in Holliston with their three children.

Carolyn was raised in Massachusetts as the oldest of two children. Her younger brother John (Jac), his wife and young son are stationed at Idaho’s Mountain Home Air Force Base.

As a child, Carolyn and her family went camping regularly and spent time every summer on a lake in rural Maine where her father spent time as a child. Her father’s stories about changes to the lake’s water quality, wildlife and open space, gives Carolyn a respect for nature and the environment which drive many of her environmental positions.

Carolyn’s husband Bill is a native of Indiana and works for Fidelity Investments in Boston. A regular rider of the commuter rail, Bill is a strong proponent of improvements to public transportation.

The three Dykema children, David, Julia and Andrew, are receiving a high quality education in the Holliston public schools and enjoy spending part of their summer in the outdoors of Maine.
