The community loss a beautiful community friend when Carolyn Victor Hubbard passed. Her dad Victor, my dad Mr. Hollins and my Uncle Deacon Bill Hollins along with my grandmother the late Lillie Lanier and my cousins the Laniers ( Herman and Hank, all had Louisiana Family HIstory. My cousins Gene Williams and my deceased sister Nettie King Hollins and my brother John Earl Hollins grew up with Carolyn and her family before heading up North to live with our father. My mother also was best friends with the late Maude Victor Bowen and son Billy Turner, who we grew up knowing as a extended family member. Warm Memories of visits to Carolyn in her lovely home with our mutual friend…
As I mourn the loss of Ms. Carolyn and reminisce on her life, tears of sadness as well as tears of Joy flow. No longer will her verbal messages be shared with me thru- my Brother
(DeWitt A. III) and my Dad (DeWitt A. Jr.) for well wishes and invites to her home. Joyful as her life was well lived and now, there is a Peaceful resolve for her.
What a fashionista and a great cook, our community was Blessed beyond measure!
My sympathy and deepest condolences are for my friend MeChelle along with the rest of the Victor/Hubbard family.
Much Love-
Regina Harris-Brown
