Carolyn Ann Scott Courtney
March 13, 1941 – July 19, 2025

Carolyn Ann Scott Courtney, 84, of Cairo, GA, passed away peacefully at home on July 19, 2025. Born in Monticello, FL, on March 13, 1941, Carolyn spent most of her life in Cairo, GA, where she dedicated over 20 years of service as a nurse at Archbold Medical Center in Thomasville. Her kindness and compassion touched the lives of countless patients and colleagues.

Beyond her work in healthcare, Carolyn gave generously of her time as a Cub Scout leader and was always known for her nurturing spirit. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend—someone who truly loved others as her own.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, Louvenia K. Scott Harrison and James Leo Scott; step-father, Maston “Pop” Harrison; two sons, Kenneth Robin Sherrod and James Lee Sherrod; and her siblings, Larry Wayne Scott, Robbie Nell S. Green, James Woodrow Scott and Clifford Leo Scott.

She is survived by her son, Frank Wilburn Courtney Jr. (Jane); grandchildren, Frank (Trey) Wilburn Courtney III, Ashlea Nicole Courtney, Hunter Scott Courtney, Fischer Harrison Courtney (Erica), Eddie Dixon, Heidi Waldrop, Hannah Melton; and great-grandson, Westyn Bailey Courtney. She also leaves behind her loving sister, Alice Bond, and many cherished nieces and nephews.

Carolyn found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially crocheting and spending time with her family. She was the most genuine and caring person you could meet—always quick to smile, always making others feel loved. She was of the Baptist faith and a member of Eastside Baptist Church.
