Mrs. Browning was born on Nov. 8, 1931, in Greenwood, the daughter of the late Wade and the late Catherine Cunningham Carver. “Charley,” as she was affectionately known, enjoyed a long career in the hospitality industry and was a member of Holcomb Baptist Church. She loved to travel and the tranquility of reading a good book. She deeply loved her family and friends and always had a smile and a “love you the best” to share.
Of all the names she could be known by, “Gran” was the one she treasured most as she cherished the time that she was able to spend with her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Gran’s legacy will be forever cherished and she will perpetually be “92 years loved.”
