OBITUARY
Carmen Haynes
December 24, 1934 – April 20, 2012
Carmen Jean Haynes was born on December 24, 1934, in Newport, Arkansas, to Preston and Golda Adcox. Carmen attended school to become a nurse where she was able to achieve her one true goal in life, to care for people. Carmen was a caregiver at heart. Whether it was her family or her friends or her children’s friends, they all knew where to go if they needed help. Through nursing Carmen was able to take care of so many people and they all loved her for it. Carmen enjoyed reading and playing the piano but most of all she loved watching the news. She loved hearing about the daily stories and happenings in the world. Carmen is survived by her husband of 58 years, Ernie Haynes, as well as her four children: Cheryl Haynes, Doug Haynes, Phil Haynes and Little John, her dachshund. Carmen is also survived by her sister Kathryn and her husband Chet Robinson and her brother Preston and his wife Janet Adcox, as well as a host of other family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Honey Grove Cowboy Church, 3050 FM 100 North, Honey Grove, Texas, 75446.

Although having never met Carmen, in some ways I know her through knowing and loving Mikel. Only having met Doug once, I know thru Mikel how much she is loved. Mikel's heart, as big as all outdoors, along with his caring, kind and compassionate ways must mirror Doug; No doubt Doug is the man he is today in part thru the example of his mom, and family. It is a privilege to join family and friends to honor Carmen tomorrow. God bless Carmen & those grieving her passing. Terri & Rich Dalke

Marilyn,Samantha & I will always remember your family support offered to us. Aunt Carmen & Uncle Ernie really guided us on the first reunion we all attended in 2004, including the warnings of dorm life snoring in the early morning! Also, we cherish our recent visit to see Carmen and looking at photos of "our family" at your Home in Texas on our USA trip. We will remember her courageous smile! We're sure she will continue to comfort and be comforted now. RIP Hugs & prayers to the entire family, we're here for you.

What a special soul!! I look at the picture and immediately hear her laughing. Memories of Aunt Carmen keep coming to my mind. Visits to your home in North Little Rock each summer when we were kids and then everyone in Newport! Lots of laughter and good food!!
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Laughing with Carmen was a special gift for all of my life. When Chet came along to join our family, he got to share the laughter, especially by teasing Carmen. She loved it. The last time I talked to her, three days before she died, we had a good laugh, remembering the times when we were little and Daddy would send us to sit in the yard till we could get our giggling under control and stop egging each other on.
Thank you, Carmen, for adding that laughter to all our lives.
We will have a special smile each time you come to spend a few moments in our memories.
Love,
Kathryn and Chet

Laughing with Carmen has been a lifetime gift for me. When Chet came along to share our lives, he got to join in the laughter, especially by teasing Carmen, which she loved. The last time I talked to her, three days before she died, we laughed about the times when we were little and Daddy would make us go sit in the yard till we could stop our giggling which got sillier the longer we kept egging each other on.
Thank you, Carmen, for laughing with us through all those years.

Im sorry for the loss of your mom. She is a very loveable and very kind person. I met her 12 years ago when i began working at life care with her. She is one of the best nurses i have ever know. She would always know what was going on down her hall and she always knew where her staff were at all times. She also didnt mind telling you if you were doing a good job or not which is good because most people dont do that now a days. I remember always talking fo her about her olympics that she loved watching so much she also would record them a watch them later. Then when she came to life care i didnt see her as a patient because she is and always will be my friend. I just want to say to her whole family that i am sorry for your loss but i know heaven is happy for it gained one of the best nurses that i have had the priviledge of knowing. Just remember that heaven has the best of two worlds with having a gaurdian angel that is also a nurse because that is what she always was to me when she was here. If family needs anything i am here if you need anything. Rip Mrs. Carmen it was a honor to have known you.

I will always remember Carmen for her love for her family. No birthday or special occasion could pass that she wasn't in the middle of the festivities, dinner, or event making sure her family and friends were cared for. I know the last few years have been tough for her, but I will never forget the good years. Carmen and her family represent the true meaning of family. I will never forget you!
