Carnell

With heavy hearts and endless love, we announce the passing of a beautiful soul, a devoted mother, a loving Nana, and a woman whose love touched everyone blessed enough to know her.

She had a way of making everyone feel special, loved and important. Her family was her greatest blessing. Her love was unconditional. As a mother, she gave her children a lifetime of love. As a Nana, she held a very special place in the hearts of her grandchildren. She spoiled them, cheered them on and made each one feel like they were her whole world.

Her love could be found in the little things: the phone calls, family gatherings and the countless ways she made sure everyone was taken care of. Those moments will now become some of the most treasured memories. Although our hearts are broken by her absence, we find comfort in knowing that the love she gave will never leave us.

Her kindness and her love will live on through every life she touched. She was deeply loved, will forever be missed, and will never ever be forgotten. Until we meet again, you will forever be our angel, our guiding light and a piece of our hearts.

She is survived by her beloved husband, John Carnell, Sr., her daughter, Rebecca Carnell of Drummonds, TN; her son John (Danyelle) Carnell Jr. of Atoka, TN; her sister, Sandra Cochran of New Albany, MS; her precious grandchildren, Dylan Carnell, Logan Carnell and Mason Carnell; her cherished great grandchildren, Waylon Carnell and Holden Carnell; many friends; and extended relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ollie Cochran and Ruby Cochran Mitchell and her brother, Tommy Cochran.
