Mrs. Carolyn Hall Outlaw

It is with deep sorrow that the Outlaw family announces the death of their beloved mother, Mrs. Carolyn Hall Outlaw, 82. Mrs. Outlaw entered into rest on Saturday, November 5, 2022. The Directors of Hancock-Elmore-Hill Funeral Home are caring for the family. A funeral service to honor her life will be held at 3 o'clock on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, in Concord United Methodist Church. The Rev. Champ Squires will officiate with burial to follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, at Hancock-Elmore-Hill Funeral Home. Memorials may be made in her honor to Concord United Methodist Church or the Lee County Chapter of the National Federation for the Blind. Mrs. Outlaw, the widow of Chapman "Bo" Outlaw, was born in Florence, SC. She was the daughter of the late Hebron Hall and Frances Dennis Hall. Carolyn was raised in Lee County, SC. In her early years, she helped with chores on the family farm. After graduating from Bishopville High School, she worked for a while at her aunt and uncle's grocery store in Elliott, SC. Her parents later began operating a grocery store, so she began helping out there. When she married Bo, and her first two children came along, she was a stay-at-home mom. Once her boys were a little older and in school, she worked at a Sears Catalog store in Bishopville. She later moved on to work as a teller at NBSC (now Synovus), where she became Head Teller. When macular degeneration cut her career short, she found joy in spending time with her grandchildren. She was always an active member of Concord United Methodist Church, where she was a children's Sunday School teacher, as well as the Vacation Bible School coordinator and church treasurer for decades. She also became an active member of the Lee County Chapter of the National Federation for the Blind (NFB), where she served as Vice-President for many years. Despite declining health in her later years, she continued to be active in her church and the NFB. She also enjoyed spending time with her great-granddaughter and was looking forward to meeting her new great-grandchild in the Spring. Carolyn was a loving and devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched. She is survived by her sons, Tony (Amy) Outlaw of Norcross, GA; daughter, Deana (Tommy) Kiser of Bishopville, SC; daughter-in-law, Angie Outlaw of Bishopville, SC; sister, Delores Hall of Bishopville, SC; sister-in-law, Adonia McClain of Cassatt, SC; grandchildren, Costel (Crystal) Outlaw of Dahlonega, GA, Viorel Outlaw of Norcross, GA, Haleigh Outlaw of Bishopville, SC; step-granddaughters, Emma Hopkins of Bishopville, SC, Leslie McGuire of Bishopville, SC, Leann Kiser of Bishopville, SC; step-grandson, Blake Kiser of Bishopville, SC; great-grandchild, Gracelynn Prater of Bishopville, SC, Isaiah Outlaw of Dahlonega, GA (Due in May of 2023.) In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Keith "Beef" Outlaw. Serving as pallbearers will be Tommy Kiser, Blake Kiser, Frankie Hall, Mitchell Galloway, Lee Windham, Sean Windham, and Kevin Gilmer.
