Carolyn Graves Fielden, 100

Carolyn Graves Fielden passed away on August 17, 2024, at the age of 100. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and unconditional love in abundance. A friend to many, she was a cherished member of the South Clinton community, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and strength. She worked in the Oak Ridge Cafeteria during World War II and enjoyed being a homemaker after marrying the love of her life Glenn Fielden. Gardening was her joy, and she possessed a natural talent for nurturing plants. She was a member of Second Baptist Church for 59 years.
