She was born July 27, 1929, to the late Arthur and Blanche Kennedy, in Dardanelle, Arkansas.  She was a long-time member of Faith Missionary Baptist Church where she served Our Lord in many capacities.  Carol was a receptionist, secretary, office manager, confectionist, phenomenal baker and cook who loved to prepare meals, snacks, and coffee for anyone and everyone whether in need or not.

Very special gratefulness to her Grandchildren Melissa Moore Halpain and Matthew Moore and their families for being so caring and attentive to their Mamaw and taking personal time with her.
