Carolyn was born on December 11, 1937, in Holly Ridge, Louisiana, and passed away peacefully at her home on October 20, 2025. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures—tending her garden, watching the birds, and spending time with those she loved most.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Brown, brothers Charles Fletcher, Felix Fletcher, James Fletcher, Roderick Fletcher, Norman Fletcher, and Lonnie Fletcher; her sister Marie Beach; and her great-grandson Jake Murphy.
Pallbearers honoring Carolyn are Dusty Fletcher, Dustin Westfield, Dylan Woods, Jerry Daylan Fletcher, Nicholas Woods, and Sebastian Fletcher.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Cheryl Brakefield; granddaughters Lindsey Long and husband BJ Long and Amanda Murphy and husband Travis Murphy; brother Jerry Fletcher and wife Polly Fletcher; five great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter—all of whom brought her immense pride and happiness.
