Karolyn was born to Carl and Meta (Giesselmann) Sommers on September 22, 1934 in Fremont. She had attended Trinity Lutheran School, and graduated from Fremont High School.

On May 14, 1955, Karolyn was married to Kenneth E. Cernik. They met when both were employed at Hormel's. Later she was employed by Pendleton Woolen Mills in Fremont. Following her husband's retirement, they were the caretakers at the Fremont Anglers for several years.
