Carolyn S. Hollar

With heavy hearts and profound gratitude for her life, we announce the passing of Carolyn S. (Grant) Hollar, who peacefully departed this world on November 7, 2026, surrounded by her daughters, after bravely facing the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. Carolyn was born on December 5, 1946, in the small town of Paducah, Texas, to loving parents Maudie and Charles A. Grant.

Carolyn was a woman of great strength, warmth, and resilience. She was deeply rooted in her family values, which she carried forward in raising her own family with love and dedication. Carolyn's life was a testament to kindness, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to those she held dear.

Surrounded by the love of her children, Carolyn was a devoted mother to her daughters, Darla Calvird and Kimberly Koob. Her nurturing spirit and gentle guidance left an indelible mark on their lives, preparing them to face the world with courage and empathy. As a grandmother, Carolyn found immense joy and pride in her four grandchildren: Sean Legan, Joshua Legan, Brittney Gonzalez, and Jacob Legan. She cherished every moment spent with them, creating memories filled with laughter, stories, and unconditional love.

Carolyn was predeceased by her parents, Maudie and Charles A. Grant, her brother Andrew Grant, her sister Charlene Dilliard, and her beloved grandson, Scott Andrew Legan. Though their absence was deeply felt, Carolyn carried their memory with her, keeping them alive in spirit and heart.

Throughout her life, Carolyn touched the lives of many with her kind words and selfless actions. Her gentle demeanor and warm smile lit up any room she entered, providing comfort and solace to those around her. She will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her enduring love for her family, and her ability to bring people together.

In honor of Carolyn's generous spirit and in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation.

Rest in peace, dear Carolyn. You are forever in our hearts.
