Carla was born on May 10, 1961 in Leavenworth, Kansas to Vernon Lee Kell and Edith Seay. She was an active member of Grace Church in Hensley, Arkansas. Carla spent her life loving those around her. She was happiest when she was spending time being “Nanna” or “NayNay” with her grandchildren. Carla had an amazing smile and an infectious laugh that she generously shared with those around her. She made new friends everywhere she went and rarely forgot a name.

A celebration of Carla’s life is scheduled for Saturday, March 18, 2017 at 1:00 PM at Grace Church in Henley, AR. Chris Neel will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Carla’s life with her family. Arrangements are under the direction of Thornton Funeral Home in Mount Ida, AR. The family would like to thank Grace Church, especially their women’s ministry, for their dedication to Carla, as well as all of the friends and loved ones who have shown support and care throughout Carla’s cancer battle.
