Mrs. Carolyn Moody Barfield

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Amy Carolyn Moody Barfield, known
affectionately as Carolyn, on November 1, 2023. In the early hours of Wednesday
morning, Carolyn peacefully joined her beloved husband in heaven, finally reunited after
3 and a half years of deeply missing his presence. She was widowed in 2020, just
seven days after celebrating her 60th wedding anniversary with her late husband,
Charles Kenneth Barfield, whom she married on May 7, 1960.
Carolyn was born on February 11, 1941, in Rockmart, Georgia, and was the daughter of
Thomas Benjamin Moody and Ada Lee Tomlin Moody. Carolyn's mom, Ada, died when
she was 8 and she was raised by her older sister Mary and Mary's husband Robert
Wehunt, who are both now deceased. Additionally, she is preceded in death by her
brothers Bill Moody and his wife Francis, Thomas Moody, and Joe Moody and his wife
Joyce and survived by her remaining sister Charlotte Abernathy.
She is survived by the following and many loved ones not mentioned. Her loving
daughters Leslie and Rusti, and her sons-in-law A.J. Scott and Fred Kilcrease. Her
loving grandchildren Josh Foster and his wife Angel, Chase Foster and his wife Noelle,
Julia Milton, and Jack Clark. She was also the proud great-grandmother of Ansleigh and
her husband Chris Ward, Braeden, Landon, Colin, and Scarlett. Her niece Donna and
Tommy Crowe, Donna's husband, and many other nieces and nephews who adored
her. Her best friend Shirley Townsend and Shirley's husband James, who was also
Kenneth's best friend. She leaves behind cherished memories that will forever remain in
the hearts of those who knew her.
A beloved retired bank teller, Carolyn served the communities of Powder Springs and
Mableton for over 30 years. Her warmth, kindness, and attentive nature endeared her to
countless customers, many choosing to wait in longer lines just to be helped by her.
Services to celebrate Carolyn's life will be held at her home at 2455 Nebo Road in
Dallas, Georgia. The services will be on Saturday, November 4th, from 2-8 pm, and on
Sunday, November 5th, from 12-3 pm. The family welcomes any contributions of food,
drink, and flowers as a thoughtful gesture in honor of this sweet lady.
Even in the face of profound loss, she remained a beacon of warmth and kindness,
never allowing her pain to harden her heart or embitter her spirit. While her absence
leaves a deep void in our lives, her spirit and love will continue to guide us through each
day. Carolyn will always be the voice in our heads, encouraging us to be better people
and to always choose kindness.
