Carol Gay Allen Cobb

The funeral service for Carol Gay Allen Cobb will be 11 a.m., Tuesday, September 12, at Macedonia Baptist Church with burial in the church cemetery. Visitation is from 5-8 p.m., Monday, September 11, at Riverwood Family and will resume Tuesday from 10 until the time of the service at Macedonia.

Mrs. Cobb, 84, of Brookhaven, passed from this life and into her everlasting life with Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior, Thursday, September 7, 2023. She was born in Brookhaven April 22, 1939, to Amel and Lizzie (Allgood) Allen. A beautiful lady with a kind and gentle heart, Mrs. Cobb loved her husband, Carlton, with whom she has been reunited, and has experienced the peace and healing she prayed to have for so long. Although we are heartbroken, we are assured of her destination and will greatly miss her presence.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Carlton Cobb; her parents; brother, Earl Allen and niece, Sandra Stewart.

She is survived by her sister, Judy Ashley and one niece, Cindy A. Smith; one nephew, Scott Ashley; as well as other loving family members, friends, her caregivers and her faith family at Macedonia Baptist Church, where she was a longstanding member.
