After a long, glorious, wonderful Sunday of splendid praise and joyous fellowship with friends and family, Minnie Lou Darby Carson laid down to rest and woke up in God’s glory!

Minnie was a homemaker who loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren dearly. She loved to teach and watch her family learn and grow. She had a huge, humble heart and dutifully served others. She was very creative in floral design, crafting and beautiful penmanship.
