Carson Funk Obituary
May 14, 1992 - April 28, 2023
Carson Rose Funk, 30, died Friday, April 28, 2023.
A Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday Sunday, May 14, 2023 at Emerald Isle, N.C. Please message Gina or Peter on Facebook for details and information on lodging.
Carson was born in Forsyth County, N.C. to Gina Grubbs Funk and Peter Funk, who survive.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Douglas W. Grubbs and Mozelle Grubbs and Edward Albert Funk, Sr. and Catherine Elizabeth Funk.
Carson was a graduate of Forsyth Country Day School in Lewisville, N.C. and of UNC Asheville, where she majored in Theatre Arts. After graduating and working in theater in Asheville, Carson moved to Los Angeles, Calif. where she worked at the Universal Theme Park. She then began work as an editor and writing consultant, establishing her online presence during the dark days of the pandemic. She recently relocated back to Winston-Salem, and she was working and creating her art and helping her clients up to the end of her life.
Carson Rose Funk loved her dog, Andy, and all living creatures. She was a dedicated vegetarian from a young age, and she led by example the law of love.
