Carolyn Stephenson (Loving), 74, from Paris, Tennessee, was daughter to Chester and Maxine Stephenson on Oct. 16, 1944. She died due to complications of cancer on Feb. 15, 2019, in Jackson.

She is survived by three children, Steve Loving, Meki Goetz, Michael Loving with six beloved grandchildren (Jamie, Meisha, Ryan, Madison, Max and Thomas), and husband, Paul Caudillo. Daughter-in-law Shelly and son-in-law Matthew also mourn her loss.

With her roots in the South, in 2005 she fulfilled her lifelong dream of owning a Bed & Breakfast “Annabelle” in Vicksburg. She sparkled as her light was undeniable to all. Her creativity was inspiring, turning discards into masterpieces. She was the heartbeat of her family. Carolyn will be forever missed and never forgotten.
