Frances Carolyn Zack

Carolyn was a gifted piano and organ teacher whose love of music touched countless lives. Her creativity extended beyond music—she was also a painter and a figure skating instructor, sharing her passion and encouragement with students of all ages. She found joy in simple pleasures, especially playing bingo and board games, where her competitive spirit and laughter filled the room. A devoted sports fan, Frances was a loyal supporter of all Atlanta sports teams and rarely missed a game.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Martha Bowman, and her beloved child, Jane Nichols.

Carolyn is survived by her loving children: daughters Donna Kuykendoll and Martha Mikeal, and son William “Rusty” Wiles. She also leaves behind five cherished grandchildren—Lauren, Justin, Jeremy, Jennifer, and Autumn—and nine great-grandchildren who brought her immense pride and happiness. She is also survived by her brother, Michael Bowman.

Frances Carolyn Zack will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of creativity, kindness, and love will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
