So sorry to see Mrs Tackett passed. I was looking for the obituary for my sister Carolyn Harper and saw Gay. I was married to her son-in-law’s brother David Carroll and visited with her many times. She will be missed by family and everyone who knew her. Rest in peace.
I am Dottie. Sue’s sister and gay’s daughter. Thank you for kind words . David was also very much a part of our family growing up . The Carroll’s spent many nights with us when our parents were hunting.
