Carolyn was the daughter of the late William Lowe Allen and the late Charles and Ina Grace Frady. Carolyn was born and raised in the beautiful foothills of Waynesville, North Carolina.

Our dearest mother Carolyn Sparks Leachman was a devoted loving wife, mother, and grandmother, a friend to all who met her, an educator, a phenomenal cook, and a lifelong Georgia Bulldog fan. After retiring, she loved to travel with family, especially to the mountains and the beach. She always put others needs before her own and knew no stranger making friends wherever she would go. Carolyn’s family and friends adored her. She was a joyful sincere presence who touched the lives of many.
