Carolyn McKenzie

Carolyn McKenzie, affectionately known as Nana, Aunt Carolyn, or Sister, was born on September 29th, 1949 in Dallas Texas, to her beloved parents, H.P "Red Brush" McKenzie and Minnie Lee. On May 13th, 2024, she departed this world, joining her cherished parents and loved ones who preceded her in death, including her life partner, Barbara Metcalf, her brother Charlie Bill, and her chosen family, Maw and Paw Case. Carolyn was a shining light in the lives of all who knew her. With her infectious humor and warm personality, she had an extraordinary gift for making friends wherever she went. Whether through her witty jokes or her genuine interest in others, Carolyn had a way of bringing joy and laughter to those around her. Above all else, Carolyn held her family dear to her heart. Her love for her family was evident in everything she did, and she took immense pride in being a devoted Aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her legacy of love, strength, and compassion will live on through her entire family, who were the lights of her life. Carolyn leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will be forever cherished by her surviving family members: brother Dennis Tubb and wife Manya; daughters Janna and husband Jason, and Tammy; son Casey and wife Linda; grandchildren Preston, Katy, Taylor, Riley, Emma, Anna, Andy, and Brian; great-grandchildren Corbin, Dodson, and Elena; sister-in-law Sandy; nieces and nephews Karla, DorRea, Bobby, Deny, Penny, Steve, Rolinda, Kevin, and Nathan, Heather; Great Nieces and Nephews, Phillip, Brandi, Kaylee, Ana, David, River, Clint, Pecos, Michaela, Rachel, McKenzie, Waylon, Casey and Jeanie; and chosen family Kathleen, Irene, Eldon, and Dawn. As we mourn the loss of Carolyn, let us also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the profound impact she had on all who knew her. May her memory be a source of comfort and strength to those who loved her, and may she rest in eternal peace, reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her. Forever in our hearts, Nana, Aunt Carolyn, Sister, will be remembered with love, gratitude, and fondness. May she find eternal peace in the arms of the divine. A Celebration of Life will be held at 835 Griffith Ave. Terrell, TX on Saturday, May 25th at 11am.
