Sylvia Jean Boyd Carrow

Sylvia Jean Carrow, 77, a resident of Aurora, NC, passed away on Sunday, May 14 at ECU Medical Center in Greenville, NC.  A visitation will be held on Saturday, May 20 at Joseph B. Paul Jr. Funeral Service at noon, with the funeral service immediately following at 1:00pm at the same location. The burial will proceed afterward at Pamlico Memorial Gardens in Washington, NC.

Carrow; two daughters: Penny Dee Carrow, Tara Jean Carrow and partner Jennifer Lynne Burch; and one sister: Daphine Singleton.  If Sylvia was in a room, then that room was brimming with warmth and laughter. If she and her twin sister were in a room together, that room was in danger of having its walls and roof blown outward and upward with the force of their laughter. They had a special bond shared -one shared only by twins- and sometimes all it took was a shared glance to have them howling.  She was a loving mother and a devoted wife, steadfast; everything she did she was in it for the long haul, and wound up doing it for decades. Five decades of marriage, five decades as a member of Edward Christian Church, and over a decade spent working at Aurora Medical Center before retiring.  She was a proud Airforce and UNC mom. She liked going and doing and being in the mix. She was a “mom-taxi” for years, carrying her children all over the state to compete in various sporting events. She also loved spending time in her garden, especially if that time included telling her husband what and where to plant.  Sylvia was a bright light, and her warmth was felt by anyone who crossed her path. She was loved fiercely, and she will be missed.  Joseph B. Paul Jr. Funeral Service is honored to assist the Carrow family.  (Joseph B. Paul, Jr. Funeral Home)

He married second a daughter of Henry Carrow of Mattamuskeet Lake and had nine children. (Kindly submitted by Sarah Carrowon) [NOTE: Mrs. Thomas C. Carrowon, Jr. of Warrensville found this very short obituary. It was in a book in a library in High Point, NC. The book was in an alphabetized recitation of things that were important to the researcher and was prepared during The Depression from items gleaned from early eastern North Carolina newspapers, etc. The date was written on the margin of the page and was unclear. The source was North Carolina Free Press - December __, 1832 and said see page 4 for Elder Carrowon's biography.) [From Deaths and Marriages from Tarboro, North Carolina Newspapers 1824-1865 by Hugh Buckner Johnson Wilson, NC]  See Elder Green Carrowan's biography.
* The Jarvis Research Group believes that the first wife of Elder Green Carrowon (Carawan) could have been Agness Jarvis, daughter of Foster Jarvis, III and his wife Elizabeth (Mason) Jarvis, not Britannia Jarvis as sometimes reported.  It is believed that Britannia Jarvis was a daughter of Joseph and Sophia Jarvis.

Leroy Abb Carver

Leroy Abb Carver, 85, of 303 Magnolia Drive, Washington NC, died February 10, 2011 at River Trace Nursing and Rehabilitation Center after a brief hospitalization due to a fall. Leroy was born in Cary, Durham County, NC, on October 26, 1925, son of Royall Smith and Elsie King Beavers Carver. Leroy is predeceased by: his parents, his brother, Carlton Smith Carver and his sister Elsie “Lois” Muggs Carver. During the depression, the Carver family relocated to Wilmar NC, where Leroy attended a one-room schoolhouse. His formal schooling was a completion of eleven grades. Leroy was a Boy Scout. Leroy served as a Coxswain in the US Navy during World War II aboard the attack transport class USS Frederick Funston APA-89 which deployed to the Pacific theater, participating in major invasions including: Saipan, Leyte, Luzon, and Iwo Jima. His duties included transporting Seabees and Marine soldiers to South Pacific beachheads via naval landing craft. Honorably discharged — uninjured, he returned to the family home in Washington investing his GI bill monies in partnership with his father Royall Smith Carver establishing Carver’s Marine Service, a full-service machine shop and marina with retail sales, such as Chris Craft boats, Johnson outboard motors, and OMC parts. While Leroy was in the Pacific in WW II, Royall S. Carver handcrafted a wooden dredge which was in operation from 1948-1958. Leroy designed and built a new dredge of all steel construction dubbing it the Linda Marie which launched into service in 1961. Dredging operations ensued throughout coastal NC. Most notably, sand-pumping at Lake Mattamuskeet. Leroy was selected in initial dredging operations at Lee Creek for Texas Gulf Sulphur Co., TGS, digging the channel to access the phosphate ore deposits. In 1969, Leroy and his dredge crew dug the sand that created the land necessary for Stewart Parkway. Additionally, he pumped sand for the city of New Bern’s waterfront, and numerous operations which re-created waterfront property, serving federal, state and local governments — especially private citizens. Carver’s Marine Service thrived located in view of Carver’s Drive Inn, where Leroy became his widowed mother Elsie’s right arm, handling all mechanical troubleshooting keeping her once famous gas station and sandwich shop running smoothly. Leroy’s modifications on his mother’s hand-operated ice shaver made “Carver” Cokes especially delicious. Leroy’s work ethic was of inexhaustible diligence — paralleled by none. His creed was: his deeds. Beloved by his customers, he mentored all who crossed his path. His employed apprentices, or just interested bystanders, whether rich, poor, noble or simple — eagerly received his tutoring. EPA government regulations all but halted marine sand-dredging in 1972. The beloved dredge and marina were sold. In 1976, Leroy and son David Leroy Carver established Carver Machine Works Inc., CMW, where Leroy’s lifetime expertise of machining, welding, and fabrication, utilized his singular metallurgical skills. Immediately a success, major corporations such as Weyerhauser and Texas Gulf realized substantial operational cost benefit via the exceptional service of Carver Machine Works. Carver Machine Works began as a family enterprise and became reputed for unparalleled quality and innovation with its scope reaching international clientele. In 1997, upon Leroy’s retirement, CMW became an employee-owned ESOP enterprise with 80 employees to date. Nutrition was another of Leroy’s keen interests. He distributed vitamins and dietary information to any interested party. A patriot of WW II, he was avidly fascinated with political issues throughout his lifetime Carver family members received salvation and were baptized at First Baptist Church in Washington. Leroy and Phyllis also attended local churches, making many Christian friends. Leroy is survived by the former Phyllis Amanda Jefferson whom he met at the St. Moritz Restaurant — and married on December 27, 1950. Additional survivors include six children, David Leroy, his wife Wilda Guthrie Carver, Carlton Stevenson, Linda Marie, her husband Donald Clark, James Royal, a daughter-in-law Summer Latham Carver, Stephen Michael, and Mary Amanda and husband Charles Leroy Richardson Jr. Additional survivors are eleven grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, and two step great-grandchildren. A celebration of Leroy’s life will be held in the Paul Funeral Home Chapel, Sunday February 13, 2011 at 3:00 pm with Dr. James A. Moore officiating. Organist Alma Evett is musician. Burial will follow at Oakdale Cemetery.

Judy Kaye Boyd Cassano

Judy Boyd Cassano was born Judy Kaye Boyd on July 9, 1953 to William Warren Boyd (whom Judy adored) and Pearl Hunter Boyd of Bath.  From childhood Judy had an affection for turtles of all types, rescuing and rehabilitating many. She also had pet ferrets she cared for a great deal. Judy’s first car was an Austin-Healy bug-eyed Sprite convertible and throughout her life, she never lost the love of driving a fast sports car with the top down, even in winter. She still has "my girl", her Mazda Miata convertible she named Sydney. Judy attended Washington High School where she applied herself and graduated 23rd out of 263 in her class of 1971. She was determined to travel from a young age and after graduating college from UNC Charlotte, joined Eastern Airlines where she worked in a dream job and traveled constantly for many years. After Eastern Airlines dissolved, Judy continued her desire to travel by going on to work for Mann Travel, Bank of America, and the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, as well as Lockheed Martin on the F22 Raptor program and several private firms. She concluded her career in Las Vegas before moving back to N.C.  She loved boating and being on the water and was part of a several large boating communities in Charlotte’s Lake Norman area and Atlanta’s Lake Allatoona, both where she made lifetime friends. Unknown to most, Judy had a master captain’s license and at one time, she was even a stand-up comic.  Following the untimely death of her husband, Tom, in 2016, Judy returned to Washington and refreshed with family, old friends, classmates, and gained many new friends. Suffering reverses in her life and career, Judy immediately reinvented herself and was soon moving forward, as she always did. Judy was outgoing, positive, organized, driven, committed, extremely loyal and selfless, and inspiring with her sweet and loving nature. She was a prankster and had an infectious laugh. After retiring and returning to Washington, she met Greg, her loving companion. Together they shared her love of travel and went on multiple cruises in the Caribbean; spent a month in Italy; visited Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Venice, Naples, Pompeii, Paestum, and Capri; climbed Mt. Vesuvius, and spent lots of visits in her favorite places along the Amalfi coast - always while watching the sun set over Capri. We cannot forget her favorites, gelato and delizia al limone, yum, as Judy would say! Never letting “grass grow under her feet “ she was always adventurous and ready to learn and try new things, including skydiving tandem from 9000ft over Manteo, on her birthday in 2018 and riding in a sailplane for her birthday in 2019. She cruised the waters of the intracoastal waterway, the Pamlico sound and river, took dancing lessons and learned to make a Charleston sweet grass basket.  Judy will leave behind a void that cannot be filled, for those who knew and loved her. Leaving to cherish her memory, are her daughter Deanna Tate Robbins and grandson Tyler Robbins; sisters, Glenda Boyd Woolard and Janice Boyd Tyson; and her companion Greg, along with many extended family and friends.  They will receive friends in a relaxed and upbeat revolving visitation from 2-4 pm on Sunday, September 27 at Washington Funeral & Cremation, Hillside Chapel.  Judy sends her love to Rebecca, Melissa and Ron, Peggy and Larry, Ken and Nancy, Art, Dave, Doug, and her favorite cousin, Diane. Thank you Dr. Kooby for helping Judy throughout 14 years of fighting cancer. Without your help more people would not have been touched by the joyous light that was Judy. She is surely back home now with her beloved daddy, family and friends who have been waiting anxiously for her to brighten their spirits, as she did for ours. Farewell, Turtle Lady. Bon Voyage, Judy. Now on to your next great adventure!  (Hillside Funeral Home)
