Publish in a newspaper
Carolyn Faye Cook, age 78, of Nashville, Tennessee, entered into the arms of our Lord on November 3, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on April 16, 1947, in Erin, Tennessee. She is preceded in death by her parents, Herschel and Otha Mae Beecham.
Carolyn is survived by her devoted daughter and son-in-law, her three cherished grandchildren, and her great-grandchild who brought her immense joy. She also leaves behind her younger brothers, along with beloved niece, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and friends who held a special place in her heart.
Carolyn was a longtime member of Apostolic Ark in Murfreesboro and later Christ Church Nashville-both places where her faith flourished and her gentle spirit touched many. She graduated from Central High School in Nashville in 1965 and worked in clerical roles for Wilson Sporting Goods and Ingram Book Company.
She was a devoted mother, a caring sister, and a treasured daughter. Carolyn will be remembered for her kindness, humility, and her quiet willingness to help others. Her soft-spoken nature and gentle laugh brought comfort and joy to those blessed to know her. She will be deeply missed.
