Carolyn Prather, age 81, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 19,
2025, in Lakeside, Arizona.

Born in 1943, Carolyn was deeply rooted in the traditions and values of
her faith. Her vibrant spirit was a lively blend of humor, warmth, and
generosity that left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Those who
knew her found Carolyn to be a beacon of kindness and steadfast
friendship.

Carolyn dedicated herself to service and fellowship through active
involvement in several fraternal organizations. A lifelong member and
past matron of The Order of the Eastern Star, she found joy and purpose
within its community. Her commitment extended to memberships in Amaranth
and Daughters of the Nile, where she continued to embody the principles
of charity, friendship, and compassion.

Family remained at the center of Carolyn's heart. She is lovingly
remembered by her life partner, John McKeeman; sisters Patricia McKnight
and Mary Lou Rose; brother, Charles Barkley; daughter, Valerie Woodson;
and son Stephen, Keebler. She also held dear the memories of those who
preceded her: her parents; brother John Gilberg; husband, Clarence
Prather; and sons Earl Prather and Richard Keebler.

A celebration of Carolyn's life will be held at Valerie's home on
Monday, October 20, 2025-to mark Carolyn's 82nd birthday. Family and
friends are invited to honor a life so beautifully lived. Carolyn's
joyful legacy endures through countless acts of kindness and laughter
shared with those fortunate enough to know her. May her memory continue
to inspire warmth and compassion in all whose lives she touched.
