Carol Lynne (Boyce) Robbins

Carol Lynne Boyce Robbins, 56, of Texarkana, Arkansas passed away on May 25, 2026 surrounded by her loving family and friends whose lives she changed forever. While our hearts are broken, anyone who knew Carol knows she would absolutely hate for us to sit around being too serious for too long. She was the kind of woman who could make you laugh through tears, turn complete chaos into a story worth retelling, and somehow make everyone around her feel safer just by being there.

Carol walked through hard seasons with grit, humor, and determination, and she never allowed life’s fires to define her. If there was one thing bigger than her strength, it was her love for her children. Her sons, Logan Weaver and Lane Robbins, her daughter, Courtney Robbins, and her beloved grandson, Luke Weaver were the center of her world. She loved fiercely, protected endlessly, and showed up for them in every way a mother possibly could.

Carol’s determination carried into every part of her life. She graduated from Arkansas High School in 1988 and later earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Texas A&M University-Texarkana. She built a successful career at Datamax Arkansas, where her work ethic and natural ability to connect with people earned her multiple honors, including Sales Representative of the Month multiple times as well as reaching Presidential Club status on multiple occasions based on her performance. Carol had a way of excelling in everything she set her mind to- whether it was her career, her friendships, or most importantly, loving her family.

Carol had a gift for making people feel seen. She could read a person with one look, knew when someone needed advice, when they needed a laugh, and when they just needed someone to sit beside them without saying a word. Her smile could shift the energy of an entire room, and her laugh was the kind that made other people laugh too — whether they knew the joke or not.

She leaves behind a family who loved her deeply: her parents, Buddy and Joyce Boyce; her sister and brother-in-law, Elaine and Scott Milhorn; her brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Kim Boyce; 3 nephews and their families, and other family members Janis Robbins and Susan Robbins.

Carol also leaves behind countless friends who became family over the years. She built lifelong connections through loyalty, honesty, humor, and the rare ability to make people feel completely accepted exactly as they were. She touched many people through her connections in the community, especially through the Oaklawn Rotary Club where she was involved with many committees, was the President Elect and would have been sworn in on June 25, 2026.

If love alone could have saved her, Carol would have lived forever.

Visitation will be held 5 to 7 P.M. Thursday at East Funeral Home, 2807 Moores Ln, Texarkana, Texas.

A Funeral Service will be held at Walnut Church of Christ, 2720 Moores Lane, Texarkana, TX, on May 29, 2026, at 1:00 pm. officiated by Mr. Patrick Cannon. Burial will follow at Memorial Gardens.
