We have wonderful memories of the Harris family and Carolyn “AKA Carol Ann”. Our families have shared some beautiful moments together with awesome memories. One of my memories of Carolyn and the family is our traditional New Year’s Eve celebration. This was always a wonderful way to start the New Year’s in fellowship with family and great friends, watching the fireworks off the Tower from Downtown San Antonio. I love the way we all shared our food, party favors and cheers. Always with a smile and sincerity Carol Ann would say my name like no one else could. We will miss her sweet voice, we will miss her beautiful smile, we will miss the fun times, we will miss her beautiful hairstyles and most of all we will miss the fun times and Joy that our families always shared.
Our heart is full and our eyes are watery. We are wiping away the tears and celebrating your life with a cheer. Rest in peace my lovely “lil”sista, until we all meet again.
Keeping you all in our hearts and in our prayers. Harris family we Love You!
Hello, I am Brandon Watkins. I am Aunt Carolyn 1 and only nephew. I was incarcerated when my aunt passed and shocked to say the least because I had spoken with her 2 days prior and it’s still a shock. I didn’t really spend alot of time with her as in adult but as a child I would see her often my Father is Zelma Watkins Jr. the eldest of the 3 and he would take me to visit . Last time I saw her was December 2018.
