Mrs. Warner died Friday, April 26, 2024. Born October 10, 1932 in Rose Hill, N.C., she was a daughter of the late William Harvey and Helen Drew Pope. Carolyn grew up on a farm in Rose Hill, surrounded by a large extended family. During WWII, she moved with her parents and her beloved younger brother Morgan to Wilmington where she developed a love for the coast. She graduated Valedictorian then attended Greensboro College as a Christian Education Major. While there, she met the love of her life, Joe.
Carolyn and Joe lived the parsonage life for 40 years in the Western North Carolina United Methodist Church. Carolyn went back to college as a young mother and received a degree in early education from Mars Hill College with top honors. She taught as an itinerant teacher in Burnsville and classroom teacher in Black Mountain and Thomasville, N.C. While raising their four children, Carolyn also welcomed and cared for her dear father-in-law, D. O. Warner.
Carolyn and Joe moved to South Carolina in 1997. She continued to enjoy sharing her life through her plants/gardening, as well as needlepoint and sewing. She enjoyed talking and texting her friends and family. She had a passion for following both politics and NCAA sports, especially Duke Basketball. Carolyn was always on the search for the perfect biscuit recipe and “wasted too much flour” in the process.
Surviving are her daughter, Lee Warner Brasche (Kevin); grandchildren, Joanna Portis Stone (Justin), Sarah Lois Portis, Mary Katherine Brasche, Daniel Joseph Brasche, John Warner Brasche, Adam Conrad Warner, Ann Majda Warner; great-grandchildren, Raye, Coco, Austin; brother, Harvey Morgan Pope (Jane). She was predeceased by her husband, Rev. Joseph Meek Goode Warner; children, Joseph Mark Warner (Kazia), William Daniel Warner, Anna Warner Portis (Mark).
The family wishes to thank the aides at Wellmore and Lexington Community Hospice. Also, a very special thank you is extended to Mr. (Wilfred) Knox, a dear, dear friend for his love and devotion.
