Carolyn loved her family, her friends, her church, and Jesus Christ. Carolyn’s smile and
beauty radiated a room. She was fun-loving, and a people-person. Many times her last
words of a conversation and remarks would include: “I love you, more.” She was so
thankful for “forgiveness.”
The Bragg/Ferrell family and Wainright-Parlor Funeral Home respectfully ask all in
attendance to continue to follow the social distancing guidelines set by our local health
district and the CDC.
