Carolyn Yvonne Case Daniels

Carolyn Yvonne Case Daniels, 67, of Sparta, NC peacefully passed away on Saturday, July 20, 2024, after a brave fight against a Glioblastoma brain tumor. She was born in Mecklenburg County, NC on April 29, 1957, daughter to Douglas Eugene Layton and the late Sarah Lee O’Shields. She is also preceded in death by her husband, John Chance Daniels, whom she will be laid to rest next to.

Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Brandy Yvonne Whittenburg (Terry), grandchildren, Liana, Alec, and Paige Fawcett, sisters, Teresa Layton and Crystal L. Howard, brother, Douglas Layton Jr., and stepdaughter, Tracy Baugess and stepson, Chris Cochran.

Carolyn was a devoted Christian, daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Those who came across her path soon grew to love her, and she was quick to return that love and acceptance. It was her regular practice to check-in with friends to wish them a “Happy Birthday!” or a simple “Have a Good Day!”

Carolyn spent her final months in the home of Brandy and Terry, her daughter being her primary caregiver, until later when hospice came alongside to help.

Carolyn enjoyed sitting out in the warm sunshine, watching the birds, the deer, and the pair of groundhogs. She enjoyed the mountain views, watching the clouds, the rain, and the rainbows. She especially enjoyed her new friends coming by for short visits. She really loved all of Brandy’s flower gardens!
