Carol Upchurch

February 11, 1941 — January 19, 2025

Glenda "Carol" Upchurch, daughter of the late Paul and Faye McFarland, was born on February 11, 1941, and departed her earthly home on January 19, 2025, attaining the age of 83 years, 11 months, and 8 days. 

Carol married Teddy Arthur Upchurch on October 19, 1955, at the age of 14. They spent 68 wonderful years together before his passing on March 16, 2024. 

Their union was blessed with two daughters, Glenda Faye Moon (Tracy) and Monica Raye Hall (Brad), who were the light of her life. A devoted mother and grandmother, Carol cherished her family deeply. She leaves behind three grandchildren: Paula Moon (Chris Gabehart), Kara Marcum (Adam), and Hagan Hall (Halie). Her blessings continued with the addition of seven great-grandchildren: Cohen Moon, Cayden Moon, Elijah Marcum, Emma Marcum, Ellayna Marcum, Holland Hall, and Easton Marcum. Other survivors include two sisters and three brothers: Johnny Moore (Linda), Paul Douglas McFarland (Deveta), Sharon Judd (Larry), Marilyn Lewis, and Mike Moore. 

She professed faith as a young girl who was taken to daytime revival from the one-room school she attended. She was a member of Summershade United Methodist Church, where she fulfilled multiple roles throughout her lifetime. She loved her church and church family. For years, she had a card ministry. She enjoyed working at Emmaus Walks, where you could find her faithfully serving in the prayer chapel. She spent her years of employment with Fruit of the Loom and Green County Middle School. 

She had a heart of gold and was always concerned for others. Carol was known for her unwavering love, kindness, and dedication to everyone - a faithful servant of Christ. Her legacy of love and devotion will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
