Carol was born on December 16, 1942, in Savannah, Georgia, to Melvin and Alice Pearson.

Granny was a huge part of my life during critical ages and stages! I learned alot from her about life and she was there for me when my dad committed suicide. I don't know where I would be if I didn't live with her during that time in my life. She gave me the nickname "Treat Queen" and always kept fresh homemade goodies around the house in glass Princess House dishes. Ritz crackers dipped in different chocolates& some with sprinkles, She made the best Fudge and chocolate pies, candied nuts and no bake cookies! She had every Disney movie that was ever made on VHS. She loved Shirley Temple and I got to see every Shirley Temple movie with her! She loved Tweety Bird and made the coolest shirts ever when I was younger! she was so talented in so many ways, I cant think of anything that Granny couldn't do! I can't eat potato soup because nobody makes it like Granny and after we all got stranded on little Tybee and had to be rescued then had to swim home from blocks away, Granny had a big pot of potato soup ready and waiting for us. I still remember the taste of it to this day and no other potato soup compares in the slightest. Granny had the only car phone I ever saw, that was as big as a regular phone but stayed in the car. Granny always had HBO. I was able to stay up late at night in my room and watch OZ which was also 1 of Granny's shows back in the day. Granny helped teach me proper etiquette as well as teach me about real life experiences. I have so many memories I could write a book! Granny was the BEST! She will forever be missed and forever be in my heart! I wish I had a chance to say goodbye! I love you Granny!

Too many favorite memories of Auntie Carol...She always welcomed her out of town family with a place to stay, a meal. She was kind and compassionate with the Pearson sense of humor. I did see her on a motorcycle at the beach?Condolences to the family, much love to you all. Rest in peace!
