Eny Ledford Carrier

Eny W. Carrier (born Willovene Willonell Ledford), 73, joined her Savior and Larry Carrier, her beloved husband of almost 50 years, in heaven on Monday, April 29, 2019. She passed peacefully at her home in Taylors, SC.

Eny was born on May 11, 1945, in Marietta, GA, to the late Edward Nathaniel Ledford, a minister, and Lucille Dickey Ledford, a homemaker. She had one older “adopted” sibling, Catherine Dickey Westenberger of GA, and four younger birth siblings, Lovelle (Clayton) Davis of NC, Eddie (Ramona) Ledford of GA, Thelma Davis of SC, and Sam (Kyla) Ledford of TN. She is survived by her 4 children – Robin (David) Fox of TN, Randy (Julie) Carrier of SC, Ranya (Steven) Huffman of SC, and Rochelle (Bob) Grass of NC; and 14 grandchildren – David N. Fox, Ashlyn Huffman, Davina Fox, Austin Huffman, Bryn Carrier, Autumn Huffman, Dalton Fox, Blair Carrier, Monica Grass, Brooke Carrier, Carson Grass, Becca Carrier, Maycee Grass, and Connor Grass. She is preceded in death by her husband, Larry Carrier, her unborn child, her parents, Edward and Lucille Ledford, her sister, Catherine Westenberger, one granddaughter, Aubrey Huffman, and five unborn grandchildren.

Eny trusted Christ as her personal Savior at age 8 under the ministry of her father’s preaching. She was baptized on Easter Sunday, 1955. She grew up in GA and attended some college at Tennessee Temple College in TN. As a young wife, she experienced a life-altering car accident in which she suffered serious injury and the loss of a child, but she continued to serve the Lord faithfully.

She supported her husband, Larry Carrier, in the gospel ministry from his ordination on June 7, 1970, until his homecoming on October 9, 2016. They devoted their lives to local-church ministries in GA, TX, FL, VA, PA, and SC. Their first Sunday at Morningside Baptist Church was February 7, 1988. Eny was a member of Morningside Baptist Church for over 31 years.

Larry and Eny’s lifelong gospel ministry has been validated by the fact that their four children, Robin, Randy, Ranya, Rochelle, and their families are all serving God! We are thankful for Eny Carrier’s faithful ministry to the Lord, her family, and the body of Christ.

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things ... enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:21
