Carolyn was born July 28, 1963 in Greenwood, Mississippi. A new life was brought forward and a special bond forever tied. A new life. A new leaf for the family tree.

Carolyn's parents always kept her watered and nourished with God's word. Carolyn accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She was reminded of God's word and his works. Carolyn became a member of Eternal Word Worship Center January 1,2004 she was a loyal member. Carolyn shared the word of God with her family and friends. The words of the bible structured Carolyn to be the woman many knew and loved. A word is given. A word is kept.

Carolyn graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1981. Carol would later plant her own seeds to keep the generational family tree roots stronger. Carolyn brought forth two sons Andre D. Snelling and Adrain D. Shivers. Family was important to Carolyn. She kept this love of family to her very last day on this earth.
