CAROLYN KAY ROWAN
(June 17, 1937 - October 30, 2016)

Daughter of Woodrow "Woody" and Mildred Perry, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, CAROLYN KAY ROWAN went to be with her Lord on Sunday, October 30, 2016, at 11:07 a.m. Born June 17, 1937, Kay is survived by her loving husband Glenn "Mick" Rowan, her sister Sally Sovine, three children, Kent Rowan, Kami Rowan and Kara Rowan Gamble, her grandchildren Meghan Rowan, Lochlyn and Tucker Gamble, and two great-grandchildren, Alexis Massie and Jeremiah Wilburn. Kay was a graduate of Milton High School where she was valedictorian. She attended Alderson-Broaddus University on a full music scholarship. Most of her life was spent being an amazing full-time mother to her three children and also in service to others. Kay was most recently known for her card ministry. She was an avid church member and woman of faith. She was co-founder of the Milton Baptist Church library and a soprano in the choir for many years. Kay enjoyed traveling to national parks, walking, seeing state capitols, baking and visiting shut-ins, PTA and school activities, seeing concerts, and managing traffic (including air) from her computer. Kay's organizational skills were top-notch and those who knew her benefitted greatly from her talents. Rest assured Kay will be running free and taking care of everyone in Heaven. A Celebration of Life will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 3, 2016, at Milton Baptist Church.
