Carolyn Lorine Roberson

Carolyn Lorine Vann Roberson, was taken by the Lord’s hand on March 5, 2026 at Jackson Hospital in Marianna, Florida and became a special angel in Heaven as she was here on earth.

Born on December 10, 1942 to Herman and Gladys Vann in Glenwood, Georgia. Carolyn was predeceased by her siblings, Pauline (Vann) Butler, Christine (Vann) Geiger, Russell Vann, Ertis Vann and a very special niece, Earline ”Dee” Burns. Carolyn was also predeceased by her very special mother-in-law, Georgia Mae Roberson of Alamo, Georgia and numerous brothers and sisters in law, nieces and nephews.

Those left behind to cherish Carolyn’s memory are her husband of sixty-five years, Grady Roberson of Marianna, Florida, her children, Lynn Wimberly (Rick) of Marianna, Florida, Randy Roberson of Marianna, Florida and Melanie Mager (Chuck) of Red Oak, North Carolina. Carolyn’s grandchildren, Brandy Coburn (Shane) of Clarksville, Florida, Jordan Barnes (Brian) of Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, Jesse Wimberly (Kristi) of Marianna, Florida, Jade Wimberly (Anthony) of New Port Beach, California, Hunter Barnes (Ashley) of Chesterfield, Virginia and Colby Silverthorne of Wilson, North Carolina. All will forever hold MeMa in a special place in their hearts. She also leaves behind her beloved great grandchildren, Grace Mills of Altha, Florida, Jayden Bennett of Bristol, Florida, Brodhi Crain of Fuquay Varinia, North Carolina, Brayden Crain of Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, Giada Ferrante of New Port Beach, California and Jessa Coburn of Clarksville. Carolyn is also survived by her special sisters, Sue Hendrix and Anne Thompson (Louie), her sister-in law, Jewel Roberson (Robert) and Ruby Gibbs. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews whom she dearly adored.

Carolyn was a 1960 graduate of Glenwood High school, where she enjoyed her high school years as a cheerleader for the Huskies. Shortly after high school, she married the love of her life, Grady. After moving to Bristol, Florida in the 1970’s and then “across the bridge” to Blountstown, Florida in 1979, Carolyn worked many years as a bookkeeper for Simpson Auto Parts.

She had an unparalleled, passionate love for her family. Though she appeared mild mannered, she was fiercely protective of her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and loved deeper than most. She molded each of us to be better humans.

Carolyn was endowed with a tremendous passion for reading, loved beach excursions, and always eagerly anticipated her annual beach trip with the "Vann Clan." Together with her sisters, their daughters, and nieces, they formed many cherished memories, reflected on fond experiences, reminisced their early lives, laughed together, cried together; all of which will be eternally engrained in the minds and hearts of all who attended this annual tradition that spanned over thirty-five years.

Carolyn was a singular individual. Those who knew her intimately were aware of her exceptional sense of humor, which was often unintentionally displayed. Her facial expressions, particularly when deep in thought, or perplexed were comedy gold. These times were often remembered, bringing happiness to all who had shared in the moments! And no doubt, will continue to bring smiles to her family and friends faces, as they continue to gather and cherish the blessing that she was to everyone blessed enough to have her in their lives!

Carolyn was a loving wife, loved her children with an unexplainable passion and fiercely loved her grandchildren. Anyone who knew Carolyn inevitably developed a strong affection for her. Carolyn’s unconditional love and generosity will forever be etched in our hearts, as she was one of the most compassionate and empathetic souls God has graciously blessed her family and friends with.

Services to honor Carolyn's life will be held at Adams Funeral Home Chapel 11:00 AM, Monday, March 9, 2026, with a time of visitation beginning at 10:00 AM. Interment will follow at Pine Memorial Cemetery near Blountstown.

The family is very grateful for the care that Dr. Steven Spence and Julie Smith at Internal Medicine have provided during this difficult time. An extra special thank you to the Hospice Staff as well. Abigale McComb, Carolyn Bailey, Lacy Anderson and other members of the Hospice team took extra steps to keep our Mother comfortable. For this special care, we are forever grateful.
