Carol was a woman of God whose unwavering faith guided her throughout her life. She found great joy in cooking, tending to her garden, and most of all, spending time with her family. Carol was a lifelong member of Holly Grove Baptist Church, the same church where she was raised, attended school, and married the love of her life. Her faith and dedication to her church were a cornerstone of her life. Her love, kindness and unwavering devotion will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
Carol was escorted to her grave by pallbearers Mikey Jo Kervin, Ray Kervin, Carlton (Buckshot) Kervin Jr., John Shivers Jr., Randy Oliver and Gene Ainsworth. Honorary pallbearers were Sidney Cox, Remington Richardson, Colton Richardson, Jacob Griffin and Gene Ainsworth.
