Carol Martin

We gather today to celebrate the life of Carol Ann Martin, a woman whose warmth, creativity, and dedication touched countless lives throughout her 72 years. Born in Houston, Texas, to L.M. Bob White and Myrtle Josephine Beasley White, Carol grew up with values of hard work and genuine connection that would define her entire life. She also found her grace with our heavenly father Carol's professional journey was marked by excellence and passion. She built a remarkable career in retail, working with many companies and leaving her mark wherever she went. Her favorite chapter was at Fashion Bug, where she didn't just manage—she created magic, organizing fashion shows that brought style and confidence to her community. She later flourished as a home designer at Home Depot Expo, helping families transform their houses into homes with her keen eye and creative vision. She concluded her career as a warehouse manager at SB Lightning, where her organizational skills and leadership shone brightly. But Carol's greatest gift wasn't just her professional success, but her ability to turn colleagues into friends, and friends into family. She had a rare talent for making everyone feel valued and welcome. Above all else, Carol's heart belonged to her husband Albert and her children Mark, Emma, & Myriah and grandchildren. The holidays at Carol's house were pure enchantment—the kitchen filled with the sweet scent of cookies being baked and decorated, the table covered with ceramic pieces waiting to be painted with love and laughter. These weren't just activities; they were memories being crafted, traditions being built, and love being expressed in flour, frosting, and painting. Her creativity and craftiness weren't just talents, they were her love language, and her grandchildren were the blessed recipients of every handmade treasure and every moment of her time. Carol Ann Martin lived a life rich in purpose, creativity, faith, and love. She leaves behind a legacy of beautiful memories, cherished friendships, and grandchildren who will forever remember the magic of their grandmother's hands, the warmth of her heart, and the strength of her faith. Though she has gone home to be with our Heavenly Father, her spirit lives on in all who knew and loved her. Carol, Mom, Baby, And Nonny you will be deeply missed. The Addison family and staff of Magnolia Funeral Home extend condolences to Carol's family and friends during this difficult time.
