Carolyn Ann Myers, 63, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 6, 2003, after a lengthy illness. Funeral services were held on December 8, 2003, at the Tuscola Baptist Church with burial in the Tuscola Cemetery. Wilcox Funeral Home in Carthage handled arrangements.
Born on December 24, 1939 in the home of her maternal grandparents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Ray of Farmhaven. Her parents, the Marian R. Wightman and the late Howard Faust divorced when Carolyn was only two. She grew up living with her grandparents and always referred to her Grandmother as Mama and her mom as mother. She was in the last graduating class of the old Farmhaven High School in April 1957.
In October of 1956, she met Bernard "Buddy" Myers of Tuscola and after graduating from high school she followed Buddy out to Dallas, Texas. They married on Buddy's birthday that year June the 3rd. Carolyn always said that she married on Buddy's birthday so Buddy would never forget their anniversary. After all, she had to give him a Christmas present on her birthday. Carolyn and Buddy have owned a number of successful business over the years and she was a driving force of their success. She retired in 2002.
She was a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Raytown. Over the years she has held a number of positions in that church. She was very involved in genealogy. Carolyn was an incredible seamstress, decorator, and a gourmet cook. She will be missed by her family and friends as well as the community of Lena.
She is survived by her husband, Buddy Myers of Tuscola and four children, Kris Myers of Grand Prairie, Texas, Ben Myers of Byram, Laura Linschoten of Carthage and Lisa Myers of Long Beach, Calif. She has one grandchild Mitch Myers of Brandon. Carolyn was preceded in death by her only brother Robert Wightman, Jr. and is survived by her three sisters, Margaret Williamson of Gulfport, Kathy Burnam of Foley, Ala. and Nancy Berry of Mendocino, Calif.
Memorials are suggested to Hospice in His Hands, 240 Thaggard Rd., Carthage, MS 39051-9517.
The entire family wished to thank Hospice in His Hands for all the love, compassion and concern they especially gave Carolyn and all of us since March 11th.
