She was an active member of Grace Church in Hensley, Arkansas.  Carla spent her life loving those around her.  She was happiest when she was spending time being “Nanna” or “NayNay” with her grandchildren.  Carla had an amazing smile and an infectious laugh that she generously shared with those around her.  She made new friends everywhere she went and rarely forgot a name.

    I remember Carla when I was friends with her sister Beverly Kell in Osceola, Arkansas. So sorry for your loss Beverly and the rest of the family.
