    Carolyn Powers Branch Wells

    August 17, 1916 - March 8, 2015

Carolyn passed away in Longview on Sunday, March 8th at the age of 98. Interment will be will be in her family plot at the Overton cemetery. Carolyn was a graduate of Overton High School, Southwestern University in Georgetown, and earned a Master’s degree from East Texas State University. She and her husband, the late Bill Branch of Overton, were the proud of parents of four sons who all achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and earned post graduate degrees. In addition to many civic organizations she led in Overton, she served several years as librarian at Overton High School and then as librarian at Kilgore College. After retiring from Kilgore College, Carolyn married Glenn Wells and moved to Tyler where she was active in Marvin United Methodist Church, PEO, The Woman’s Forum, and the Literacy Club. After the death of Glenn Wells, she moved into the Buckner Westminster Retirement facility in Longview and loved being with all her new friends. Carolyn will be missed by all who knew her and were inspired by her consistent positive attitude, deep Christian faith, wonderful sense of humor, and the gracious spirit of a grand Southern Lady. Carolyn will be especially missed by her loving family: sons, Powers Branch of Longview; Paul Branch of Mason, TX ; Mike Branch of Pagosa Springs, CO; John Branch of Clear Lake City, TX.; their wives; nine grandchildren, and 23 ½ great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, Carolyn would like for her friends to make a donation to the charity of their choice.
