Carolyn Sue Montgomery Conner, 63, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023 in Maysville, Ga. Carolyn was born on Feb. 16, 1960 to the late W.M. “Duck” Montgomery and Alfreda Branson Montgomery in Lake Charles, La.
She was a graduate of Lake Charles High class of 1978, and earned her Batchelor’s and Master’s degree in Education from McNeese State University. She was a kindergarten and first grade teacher for the Calcasieu Parish school system for 26 years, starting at J.I.

Upon moving to Georgia in 2021, she has been a second grade teacher at Banks County Elementary for the past three years.
