Carolyn was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on June 27, 1981. She previously served as a Regular Pioneer for 11 years. She loved to read and study the Bible and share her Bible knowledge with others. Her favorite scripture was Revelation 21:4, 5, which states, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (NWT)

A memorial service will be held at the South Zanesville Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Friday February 28, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. A graveside ceremony will be held at a later date. BURRELL FUNERAL SERVICES is serving the family.
