Carolyn Strock Higgs Combs Obituary
She also had 16 great grandchildren whom she loved dearly – David Higgs, Joshua Higgs, Hunter Higgs, Kaitlyn Higgs, Anna Kate Higgs, Hannah Higgs, Meghan Higgs, Stetson Higgs, Amelia DeRosa, Michael DeRosa, Lillian DeRosa, Elodie Hussey, Leon Hussey, Julian Hussey, Dylan Higgs, and Madelynne Higgs.
Carolyn Strock was born with her twin sister, Marilyn, in Miami FL, and raised with her siblings Kenneth Strock, Arthur Strock, Lois Strock (all deceased), and brother Sonny Headlee (Margaret) (Fruitland Park, FL). She worked and supported herself through her teen years until 1947, when she met and married a handsome young sailor, Henry Higgs. Then in 1966 she moved her family to Hawkinsville Georgia, where they put down roots. She worked at M. Snower Corporation in Hawkinsville for many years. After she was widowed, she moved to Warner Robins where she began a new career at Robins AFB until her retirement. She learned square dancing and enjoyed traveling to many dancing events. In 1996 she married Robert Combs and they enjoyed many years together until his death in 2014.
Carolyn modeled strength, acceptance, faithfulness, and love. Though fiercely independent, she knew her gifts and strength came from God and her savior Jesus Christ, and over her lifetime relied on the prayer that never fails, "Thy will be done."
The funeral service for Carolyn will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, March 15, 2024, at Clark Funeral Home in Hawkinsville, Georgia with Dr. Jeff Waters officiating. Visitation will be from 11:00am-1:00pm immediately before the service. Burial will be held immediately following the service in the family plot at Pulaski-Bleckley Memorial Gardens in Bleckley County.
Clark Funeral Home has the privilege of being entrusted with arrangements.
