Carolyn Waff Warren

     Carolyn Waff Warren, age 78, went to her long-awaited home in GLORY Friday, January 31, 2025, surrounded with love by her devoted family.

     She was born February 2, 1946, in Chowan County, the daughter of John E. Waff and Marie Ferguson Waff. In addition to her parents Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband, David Warren; son, Daren Pierce; sister, Emma Hughes (Crayton); brothers, Johnny Waff and Danny Waff; and stepbrother, David Twine.

     Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Erica Clark-Ramsey; grandchildren, Morgan Ramsey White, Daren Ramsey, and Gabriel Ramsey; great grandson, Oakland White; sisters, Chris Bethune (Ricky) and Janet Hargrove (Bob); brother, Perry Waff (Mary); stepmother, Doris Waff; stepsisters, Lynn Stauber (Harold) and Debbie Phelps; sisters-in-law, Shirley Waff and Joan Waff;  and many extended family and friends.

      Many will remember Carolyn as manager of Hardee’s on 23rd Street in Wilmington as she worked there for over twenty years.

     Carolyn was an extraordinary woman of many talents and a “Mama” to many with her giving spirit. Her love for family was unmatched. Her brightly shining light often served as a guide to those around her. Those that knew Carolyn will always remember her passion for cooking for those she loved and spending time with her beloved family.  She was a true example of what it meant to be a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, and Friend. Her presence in our lives will be forever missed but we find solace in knowing she is at peace and rejoicing with her Almighty Father. 

    A gathering of family and friends on Sunday, February 2, 2025, to celebrate Carolyn’s 79th birthday and to share stories of her wonderful life on earth will be at Brown Dog Coffee Upstairs Event Place, 103 W. Fremont Street, Burgaw, NC from 2 to 4:00 p.m.
