Carolyn Finch Obituary

Carolyn Finch
Marianna - Carolyn Griffin Finch was born April 9, 1938. She passed away on March 24, 2021, Marianna Florida.
Carolyn was born in Blountstown, Florida to Bud and Louise Griffin. She was a graduate of Blountstown High School. She married Lowell Finch on November 30, 1963.
In addition to raising their four children, Carolyn and her husband, Lowell owned and operated full-service gas stations for over 25 years. First at Lowell's 66 and later Lowell's Exxon.
She was preceded in death by both parents, her husband, Lowell and their sons, Kenny and an infant son. Carolyn was also preceded in death by two brothers, Clarence and Woodrow Griffin.
She is survived by three children Sonny Finch (Susan) of Melbourne, Florida, Libby Nalls (Eddie) and Carol Rudd (Dennis) of Chipley Florida.

Two Sister-in-law's, Gretchen Griffin and Gerri Griffin both of Blountstown.
Anyone who knew her would know that her proudest achievements were being called "MawMaw" by her grandchildren, Kiley, Cara, Ashley, Diamond, Farrah, Ryan and Jason. Then to make it even more special, those seven great grandchildren who were loved and adored by her, Gabby, Jaylee, Brantley, Lila, Nora, Zoey and Emma.
Mawmaw will be missed but knowing she has been made whole and united with our PawPaw brings a source of comfort for us all.
