Carolyn Addison Livingston

Carolyn Livingston, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and devoted Christian, passed away on September 12, 2026, at the age of 67.

Born in Dallas, Texas, on October 25, 1958, Carolyn lived her life with a genuine zest for life and a heart that was always open to those around her. A true redhead with a vibrant spirit to match, Carolyn had a warmth and presence that made her unforgettable.

Her faith was an important part of who she was. As a devout Christian, Carolyn carried her faith throughout her life, finding strength, hope, and purpose in her relationship with God. Carolyn shared her life with her beloved husband, Wayne. She was a devoted mother to her daughter, Celia, and a loving daughter-in-law, Andrea. She was also blessed to welcome Celia’s husband, Eddie, into the family as her son-in-law. Her family was at the center of her heart, and she treasured the relationships and memories they shared.

Carolyn was a loving grandmother to Mariah, Tremayne, McKenzie, Louis, and Danny. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Amiri, Penelope, and Isaiah. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her tremendous joy, and the love she shared with each of them will remain a lasting part of their lives.

She also leaves behind her beloved sisters, Nedra Ragsdale and Melody Horton. As a sister and beloved aunt to many, Carolyn was a cherished part of a large circle of family. She gave love generously and was always there for those around her, creating memories and bonds that will be treasured for generations.

Carolyn was the kind of person who was always there when someone needed her. Whether someone needed a listening ear, a helping hand, encouragement, or simply her presence, she had a way of making people feel cared for and loved. Her generous spirit, infectious zest for life, and unwavering faith touched the lives of many.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Ned and Carolyn Pryor, and her stepson, J.R. She carried their memories and the love they shared with her throughout her life.

Carolyn leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, family, and kindness. Though her absence leaves a deep void in the hearts of those who loved her, her memory will live on through her husband, Wayne; her daughter, Celia, and son-in-law, Eddie; her daughter-in-law, Andrea; her grandchildren, Mariah, Tremayne, McKenzie, Louis, and Danny; her great-grandchildren, Amiri, Penelope, and Isaiah; her sisters, Nedra and Melody; her many nieces and nephews; and all those who were blessed to know her.

Her life was a gift, her love was a blessing, and her memory will be cherished always.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.”

— Psalm 23:4 (KJV)

Until we meet again, Carolyn. Your faith, your love, and your beautiful spirit will live on in all of us.
