Mrs. Carolynn Davidson

Heaven is a little sweeter today because Carolynn Davidson has made the trip. Early Saturday morning of May 11, 2018, in the presence of her loving husband and 5 children, heaven took her after a long, hard battle with several ailments. She is survived by her wonderful husband of 48 years Billy Davidson; her 5 children Ben Davidson of Longview, TX, Carol Martin and husband Kenny of Winona, Missouri, Denise Lindsey and husband Chad of Gladewater, TX, William Davidson of Carthage, TX and Michael Davidson of Tyler, TX; her 7 grandchildren Bridgette Hood, PFC Brandon Harris (who is currently serving our country in Iraq) and wife Barbara, Braydon Lindsey, Braden Jones, Colton Davidson, Braxton Lindsey and Landon Davidson; and 1 great-grandchild, Mya Wheeler and she had one more on the way; 1 sister, Debbie Anthony; and numerous sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her Pa Fred Denler and Granny Olevia Denler who raised her; one uncle who was more like brother, Freddie Denler; and her biological mom and dad Maxine and Gene McCann. Carolynn made a tremendous contribution in life. She was a huge part of the Dixie Baseball League for many years, helping out wherever she was needed. She was a long time member of Landmark Baptist Church where she helped with Youth Camps, cooking and everywhere else she could help. She was a second mom to many of her children’s friends. She helped and aided any stray animal that came by. She was little in stature but mighty in words, deeds and expectation in those she mentored. She was a tremendous country cook. She even helped own and operate a Restaurant and Antique store in Downtown Gladewater, TX at one time. Carolynn had a profound love for the disenfranchised people. The ones who were hurting and struggling. She had a huge heart for all. She always had a smile and words of encouragement. Carolynn’s life Portrayed the life of a Christian with a calling of servitude. Even though she couldn’t speak for these last several years, she would always give a thumbs up or down and a beautiful smile/grin. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Graveside funeral services for Mrs. Carolyn Davidson, 66, of Beckville, Texas will be 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at the Rockhill Cemetery with Rev. Mike Daniels officiating. Burial will follow under the direction of Hawthorn Funeral Home. Visitation will be 6-8:00 p.m. Tuesday at Hawthorn Funeral Home. An online guestbook may be signed at www.hawthornfuneralhome.com.
