Carolyn Kay Wyatt, daughter of Gordon and Beatrice (Wilson) Day, was
born March 14, 1942 in Macon, Missouri. Carolyn graduated from Camdenton
High School in 1960.
Carolyn went home to be with the Lord at
11:30 P.M., April 4, 2005 after courageously battling a malignant and
very aggressive brain tumor for twenty-one months. She had attained the
age of 63 years and 21 days.
Carolyn was assured of eternal life
and a home in heaven after accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as her
personal Lord and Savior. She then followed the Lord in obedience with
believer's baptism to demonstrate outwardly what she had experienced
inwardly. She was a faithful member of Maranatha Baptist Church of St.
Robert, Missouri.
In 1960, Carolyn was united in marriage to
Bobbie Baker of Richland, Missouri. They were blessed with two
daughters, Kimberly Yvonne and Angela Kay.
In 1987, Carolyn
married William "Bill" Wyatt of Waynesville, Missouri. They were married
for fifteen wonderful years before Bill's homegoing to heaven in
January of 2002.
From 1979 to 1987, Carolyn was employed by the
Pulaski County Clerks office. In 1987, she went to work for the Laquey
R-5 School District where she held positions of teacher's aide and
middle school secretary. She was forced into early retirement due to her
illness in 2002.
Carolyn enjoyed music greatly. She served the
Lord in her church by playing the organ, piano, singing, and decorating
for special events. She played the piano and sang at many weddings and
church events over the years. Carolyn was a very gifted interior
decorator and her home was often likened to a "museum". She decorated
such that it looked as though it came out of a page of a magazine. She
loved collecting antiques, creating scrapbooks, creating her own craft
works and traveling coast to coast to see her daughters and
grandchildren.
