Carolyn "Wacky" B. Stephens

Carolyn “Wacky” B. Stephens, age 82, of Rochelle, Georgia, passed away at her residence on Saturday, June 25, 2022.  She was a life-long resident of Rochelle, born November 26, 1939, in Fitzgerald, Georgia, to the late Eugene William Stephens and Mildred Carolyn Brown Stephens.  She was also preceded in death by her brother, Eugene William Stephens, Jr., and her sisters, Elizabeth Welch and Brenda Stephens.

Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Melinda Hackett; her son-in-law, Royce Hackett; her grandsons, William Hackett and Raymond Hackett; and four great-grandchildren.

Carolyn was retired from the Wilcox County Department of Family and Children Services.  She is a member of the Rochelle United Methodist Church, and enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially horse-back riding.  She was an avid reader as anyone who ever saw her bookshelves can attest.  Her life-long passion was art.  She started drawing at an early age and became an accomplished, self-taught artist, working in oils and acrylics, painting the scenes of nature that she so loved.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, July 16 ^th , at 11:00 a.m. in the Rochelle United Methodist Church, with Pastor Eric Sizemore officiating, and Tim Conner giving a eulogy.

“Wacky” will be greatly missed by her family, dear friends, acquaintances, and all who knew her.

Frazier & Son Funeral and Cremation Services is in charge of the arrangements.
