Carolyn Milliken Obituary

Carolyn Ann Milliken, age 80, of Mayflower, Arkansas, passed away Oct. 27, 2025. She was born on Nov. 17, 1944, in Warren, Arkansas, to Clyde Burks and Pauline Cooper Burks.

She was always there and ready for "a big ole bunch of boys" being at the house. She loved them. She taught them. And, of course, she fed them. She was always there for them in good times and bad. She never turned anyone away.

Carolyn is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Stephen Milliken; brother, Billy Burks; and sister, Linda Gill.

She is survived by her children, John Milliken (Missy), Jimmy Milliken, Jason Fisher; five grandchildren, Caden, Cooper, Presley, Cassidy, McCoy Milliken; and a host of many extended family members.

The family will receive friends Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025, at Smith Family Funeral Homes Conway Chapel from noon to 1 p.m. with memorial services following. Online guestbook at www.smithfamilycares.com.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
