Carolyn Ann Harris-Webb

Carolyn Ann Harris-Webb was the eighth child of eleven children, born to the union of the late Warrick Rudolph Harris and the late Alice Elizabeth Baker-Harris in Piper, Alabama (twin to Roslyn). She confessed her faith to Christ at an early age and grew up in First Baptist Church, Calera, Alabama. Carolyn devoted herself to the Lord.

Carolyn was educated in the Public School System in Shelby County, Alabama and graduated as first honor student of her class from Prentice High School in Montevallo, Alabama.

She received her certificate of Business Math and English from the Milwaukee Institute of Technology and worked as a Business Analyst in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company for 24 years before retiring. She loved her profession and the people she served.

She united with Saint Agatha/Saint James Roman Catholic Church and served under Father Karl Zeuner for 20 years as a member of the Pastoral planning committee, serving in Kitchen Aide and the Annual Christmas Bazaar. Carolyn was the proud mother of Reena Webb-Wicker and grandmother to Aria Wicker, her bonus daughters Phyllis Harris-McNeal and Cynthia Harris-Wilson (preceded in death).

Carolyn moved back to Calera, Alabama in 2002 upon retirement and reunited with First Baptist Church Calera. She served as Church Secretary of First Baptist Church Calera and was a faithful member of the choir and President of the Missionary Society, Kitchen Aide and Usher Board.
