Carolyn Blanch (McDaniel) Sheff

Carolyn Blanch (McDaniel) Sheff, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and devoted friend to many lives, lives on in spirit, and remains eternally in the hearts of her family and friends. Memorial service for Carolyn will be held at 11 AM Saturday, December 6, 2025, in the Ward Wilson Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Peter Sheff officiating.

Carolyn was born in Opp, Alabama on February 8, 1950, to William McDaniel and Doris Kennedy McDaniel, and is predeceased by her parents and her older brother, Noel. She leaves behind her loving husband of nearly 50 years, Tom Sheff, their two sons, Sean and Justin, daughters in law, Abby and Sarah, as well as five beautiful grandchildren, Noah, Nathan, Caroline, Lily and Morgan. She also leaves behind many sister- in- laws, brother- in- laws, nieces and nephews, all whom will remember time spent in her company.

Carolyn and her family resided in Dothan, Alabama for many years, prior to retiring and relocating to Burnsville, North Carolina, where they spent the summers, while wintering in Miramar Beach, Florida. Carolyn helped countless students with learning disabilities reach their potential during her career as a special educator. In her free time, she spent many hours garden and could easily identify plants, their culinary and medicinal uses, as well as their growing habits. She also enjoyed skiing in the North Carolina mountains with her family.
