Mrs. Carolyn Dobbin

Mrs. Carolyn S. Dobbin, 68, of Fayetteville, NC, passed away on Sunday, April 6, 2025.

I came in this world as a spark. I had the desire to thrive, and survive. I lived my life on my own terms.

When others thought I couldn't, I remained diligent and excelled. I worked hard providing and serving those who could not serve themselves.

I loved and enjoyed life. I loved my flowers and family. Much like the flowers I tended, I had a strong desire to help my family and others grow. I witnessed them blossom, even in the hard times, I seen the Savior's beauty in them and never gave up on them.

Don't cry for me, for I am saved. I'm no longer suffering. I'm with my eternal father, no more pain, worry, frustration, or heartbreak. Im in eternity dancing and rejoicing. I am no longer remembering the worries of this world.

I finished my race. I met the goal. My spirit is celebrating  perpetually with my creator. I'm not gone for I have transitioned into eternity.

God loved me and I loved Him. Mourn not for me, but those who don't know God, as a believer, I will see you again. I'm not gone. I'm waiting until we meet again.

I worked over thirty years as a hospice nurse. "I have closed many eyes. No man was put here permanently."Get your house in order. Surrender your life to God.

Love while you are here, be good to yourself and others. Forgive others and accept God. No man knows the time when God is coming back.

I know the sadness you are experiencing. Do no allow pain and grief to overshadow  my good work and dedication to others. God blessed me with a good life.

I have not given up but, rather given into the calling of my father. We are all appointed a time. It was my time. I am joining God in my heavenly home.

God didn't fail me or you. Hold your head up dry those tears and hold tight to your faith. I may not have received my healing on this side but, I am made whole and completely healed on the other side.

This body is temporary, eternity is infinite. God's love never fails. His healing never fails. His love never fails.  His Word never fails. God is incapable of failing, for "He knows the plans for us that is to prosper us and do us no harm." Its safety in God's loving and comforting arms.

Although, you may cry remember me as I was, cherish those moments. Remember the laughter, good times, my zest for life and I will remain with you. Until we meet again, enjoy life.
