The family will receive friends from 12:00 P.M. to 12:45 P.M. on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Shadybrook Baptist Church. The funeral service will follow at 1:00 P.M. at Shadybrook Baptist Church in Kannapolis, officiated by Pastor Charlie Littlejohn. Burial will immediately follow at Carolina Memorial Park Cemetery, 601 Mt. Olivet Road, Kannapolis.

Remaining to cherish her memory are her loving parents, Martha Lou Adams and William Parks Erwin, Jr.; her loving daughter, Jennifer Cooper (Josh) of Cartersville, GA; grandchildren, Justin Cooper and Julie Cooper of Cartersville, GA; siblings, Michael Erwin (Anita), Sharon Seaford (Bill), and Lorie Stancil (Jeff), all of Kannapolis, NC; several nieces and nephews; and her lifelong friend, Shirley Haney, to whom the family extends their deepest appreciation.

Carol worked at Cannon Mills, where she worked her way up to a supervisor role. She graduated from South Rowan High School and later continued her education at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. A lifelong member of Shadybrook Baptist Church, Carol devoted her life to her church family. She was always willing to lend a hand wherever she was needed, but her greatest joy came from serving in the church’s Food Pantry Ministry, where she faithfully served the community for many years.

Carol was the most loving and devoted grandmother to Justin and Julie. She was the foundation of her family and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Shadybrook Baptist Church Food Pantry.
