Jenna Carroll Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Holley-Gamble Funeral Home, Inc. - Clinton on Dec. 20, 2025.
Jenna Lauren Carroll (Jenna, Mom, "Nana") of Heiskell, TN went to her eternal
home on Tuesday, December 16th, 2025, and is now in the presence of the Lord.
Jenna was born on May 21, 1984, in Knoxville, TN to her parents Daniel M. Border
and the late Tracey S. Rice. She lived in Andersonville for the majority of her
childhood and graduated from Anderson County High School in 2002.
Soon after graduating from ACHS, Jenna married her high school sweetheart and
started her "little family," which she embraced as the most beautiful part of her
life. She devoted herself as a stay-at-home wife and mom, working side jobs
intermittently through the years. She was formerly a familiar face as a cook at
Valley Quick Pack and had recently begun cleaning for friends and clients who
loved having her in their homes to not only clean their houses but to bring laughter
and joy to their lives.

Among her many endearing qualities, Jenna was known for her willingness to do
anything for anyone who needed her. She daily ran errands for friends, showed up
to help her family with needs big and small, volunteered her time as Vice President
of the ACHS Cheer Booster Club, and was seen all around town taking care of daily
tasks that she was almost always taking care of for someone else. Everywhere she
went, she made people laugh with her hilarious personality and expressive
mannerisms.

In addition to spending time with her family, Jenna loved to sing and appreciated
all different kinds of music. She enjoyed coloring, getting pedicures with her girls,
cabin trips away with her family, sweet quality time with friends, and watching her
favorite television shows. She loved to cook with her husband and tried out new
ways to make her own detergent and coffee drinks. Jenna had unique and beautiful
handwriting and often wrote little messages, grocery and "honey-do" lists in her
signature font. Unarguably, one of her favorite pastimes was spending time with
her two-year-old grandbaby, Mayson. They were mutually crazy about each other.
Jenna attended Jarnigan Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, where she stood up on
November 30th and testified to the love of God in her life.

Jenna was preceded in death by several beloved family members and friends. She
is survived by her husband of 23 years, Brandon M. Carroll, her four children: Tom
Matthew Carroll (Ravyn), Jake Daniel Carroll (Faith), Mollie Kathleen Carroll
(Jackson), and Maggie Elizabeth Carroll (Trenton); her grandson, Mayson Carroll,
and a host of dear relatives and friends.

Services to honor Jenna's life will be held at Holley Gamble Funeral Home in
Clinton, TN. The family will receive friends on Saturday, January 3 rd from 12:00-3:00PM with a service following and officiated by Pastor Travis Freeman.

In lieu of sending flowers, the family kindly asks that memorial donations be made
to ORNL Federal Credit Union. Contributions may be sent to the following address:

ORNL FCU, c/o Brandon Carroll. P.O. Box 1495, Clinton, TN, 37717. All funds

generosity and support during this time.
