Carolyn Parsons, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed peacefully from this life on October 21, 2025 surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on May 30, 1945 Carolyn built a remarkable legacy in Lunenburg County, Virginia, where she faithfully served for many years as the Magistrate and then the Registrar of Lunenburg County. Through her dedication and integrity, she became a trusted leader and friend to many in her community.
