Carolyn Crider Obituary
JONESBORO - Carolyn Sue Gammill Crider, 76, of Jonesboro passed away Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021, at the Phil and Flo Jones Hospice House.
She was born April 11, 1945, in Jonesboro to the late Damon Gammill and Mary Vance.
What's not to love about a woman who loved her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandson immensely.
In her last years before falling ill, Carolyn enjoyed talking to her dear friends and family including a host of nieces, nephews and sister-in-law that often checked on her. Carolyn did not text or use the computer, but she loved her phone conversations.
Carolyn enjoyed hosting get-togethers within her community of Sunset Gardens on Ecumenical Drive in Jonesboro. She loved her apartment and decorating.
Carolyn didn't want her sleep interrupted, but other than that she loved everyone.
This woman of strength and endurance will be missed by many, but mainly her daughters.
Carolyn gave us a strength that took us a long time to understand. We will continue that strength in honoring her and loving one another. She left this world the way she wanted when she wanted.
In addition to her parents, Carolyn was preceded in death by a daughter, SaGaye Reece and three brothers, Joel Gammill, Bruce Gammill and Jesse Gammill.
Survivors include her daughters, Felicia Persfull and Shellie (Doug) Butler, both of Jonesboro; grandchildren, Joshua Miller of Mountain Home, Derek Cade of Nashville, Tenn., and Jessica "Princess" Armstrong of Bay; great-grandchildren, Joshua "Lil Man" Miller of Mountain Home; sisters, Katherine Garrett of Nixa, Mo., and Mary Cooper of Jonesboro; and a brother, Daymon Gammill Jr. of Bay.
Her wishes will be honored by her daughters for her cremains to be buried with her daughter, SaGaye Reece at 11 a.m. Oct. 23 in Oaklawn Cemetery in Jonesboro.
No formalities, just those who choose to share with family in prayer and stories honoring this pillar of strength.
