Mrs. Carolyn D. DeWalt

Mrs. Carolyn D. Mays DeWalt  fell asleep on March 26, 2017 .  She was the youngest girl of seven, born to Adolphus Mays and  Dora J. Murrell Mays Mills. She was born in Blakely, Ga on March 22, 1943.   She was the loving and devoted wife of the late Johnnie DeWalt Jr.—a courtship that developed  on the job while living  in Newark, NJ.  

She was a woman of many talents.  Some of her talents were the following:  seamstress, hat maker, crocheter, quilter, cook, baker, artist, avid gardener, and fisher. 

She retired as a Certified Nursing Assistant from White Oak Nursing Home. 

She was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1986—a life decision that surpassed all other achievements.

She leaves behind a devoted and loving daughter, Kathey D. Mays of the home   and beloved granddaughter, Courtney J Mays Shippy of  Charleston, SC;  two sisters, Mamie R. Hubbard of Gary, Indiana and Petronia Lambert of  East Orange, NJ; a brother, Ulysses Mills of Newark, NJ; a sister-in-law,  Mabelle Mays of Viera, Fl; a great aunt, Zora Mays Hall of East Orange,  NJ; predeceased by brothers, Jacob Mays, Billy E. Mays, and Lee Ozzie  Mills.  She is held in loving memory by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
