J. C. Carr, Jr.

J.C. Carr, Jr., was born September 12, 1943 to Leola and J.C. Carr, Sr. He was one of eight children. He attended Earlsboro public schools and later obtained an Associate’s Degree in Electronics from Langston University. He accepted Christ at a young age and was baptized at the First Baptist Church in Earlsboro, Oklahoma. In 1963, he was united in marriage to Hattie M. Jackson and they were blessed with four children – Todd, Terry, Tiffany and Tanell. J.C. fought a long and valiant battle with illness; the Lord ended his suffering early Sunday morning, March 20th. He will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him. He is gone from our presence, but never from our hearts. J.C. was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Frances Jean Hearn. J.C. leaves to cherish his memory a son, Todd Carr of Columbus, OH; daughters Terry Carr (Aaron) of Washington, DC, Tiffany Hill of Indianapolis, IN, and Tanell Carr of New York, NY; grandchildren Kennedy, Karr, and Kaya; sisters Lois Ann Nubine (Willie) of OKC, Wanda Johnson of OKC; brothers Charles Carr and Donald Carr of Earlsboro, OK; Ed Carr (Jean) of Tecumseh, OK, Melvin Carr of OKC, an uncle, Jackie Talton, of Shawnee, OK; and a host of other relatives and friends. Services will be 11:00 a.m. Saturday, March 26, 2016 in the chapel of Walker Funeral Service. Burial will follow in Earlsboro Cemetery.
