Carrol Higginbotham Obituary
CHURCH POINT - Carrol Higginbotham left this earth to be with our Lord on Monday, May 30, 2016. He died of natural causes at age 76 after a short illness. Visitation will be Friday, June 3, 2016 beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Delhomme Funeral Home, 705 Marie Street, Scott, LA. After the prayer service at 3:00 p.m., he will be transported for cremation.
He is survived by his wife, Diane Vincent; two sons, Jon Michael and Richard Joseph; daughter, Priscilla Higginbotham from his first marriage; sister, Bernadine Theresa; brothers, James Terry and his wife Judy and Milton Joseph and his wife Sandy; grandchildren, Brennen, Serenity, and Korbin.

Carrol proudly joined the Marines soon after he left Scott High School. He worked at Lafayette Steel Erectors for nineteen years and Reco Crane in New Orleans for twenty years.
Carrol was a pure hearted soul; it showed in everything he touched. He had a love of music, passion for woodworking, devotion to gardening and a taste for cooking. You could feel warmth in his heart for his family. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him and never forgotten by those who loved him. We love you dad, husband and friend - then, now and forever.

May God bless the Higginbotham family.
I worked with Mr. Higginbotham at Lafayette Steel Erectors in the early 1970s. The Higginbotham brothers were such nice and respectful men.
My condolences.
