Carolyn Hegwood

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Carolyn June Hegwood, born on July 22, 1936, in Amsterdam, Missouri. Carolyn, a resident of Boise City, Oklahoma, was a cherished member of our community.

She was known for her loving nature, a trait that touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Carolyn's life was a testament to her deep-rooted faith as a dedicated member of the First Baptist Church of Boise City, where she served on several committees. Her diligent contributions ceased without end, such as serving food and being in fellowship at funeral dinners, Teaching Sunday school, helping the little ones in the nursery, and giving a helping hand with the vacation bible school.

Carolyn’s life is a testament to the verse, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13), which held a special place in Carolyn's heart and guided her throughout her life.

Carolyn Hegwood was a homemaker by profession, a role she embraced with grace and commitment. Her love for wildflowers led to her working as a floral assistant to Betty Kirtley and Lee Palmer of Boise City for many years, a profession where she beautifully combined her passion and work.
