I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. -       II Timothy 4:7-8

Carolyn Miller Nelson, a beacon of love and strength, was born on September 26, 1939, in Brundridge, Alabama, a daughter of the late Mr. OB Miller and Mrs. Janie Pearl Faulk Miller. She began her early education in the Alabama schools.

After her family's relocation to Moncks Corner, South Carolina, Carolyn completed her education at Berkeley Training High School. She was employed at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, where she served tirelessly for 25 years before retiring.

Carolyn was a member of Moncks Corner AME Church and served faithfully on Stewardess Board #2, the Jubilee Choir, and the Senior Choir.

As the matriarch, Carolyn was the cornerstone of the Miller family. She instilled in her family the importance of respect and kindness towards others. Her love for family was unconditional, especially when it came to her cherished grandchildren. She was a great cook and poured her heart into every meal she prepared. Her dishes brought great joy and comfort to all who tasted them.

Carolyn loved spending time with her family, particularly during leisurely boat rides in the Charleston Harbor. Her presence illuminated every gathering, infusing it with warmth and laughter.

On Sunday, May 5, 2024, Carolyn peacefully transitioned into eternal life with the Lord. She will be fondly remembered for her vibrant and radiant spirit, her unwavering faith, and her kindness.
