Carolyn Byrd Quinn, a native of Mobile, AL, passed away at her home on November 20, 2019, at the age of 79. She is survived by her three daughters, Lisa Quinn Starr, Mobile, AL; Lori Quinn (Daniel) Barber, Mountain Brook, AL; and Leslie Ann Quinn, Mobile, AL; three granddaughters, Ashley Starr (Thomas) Lambert, Mobile, AL; Caroline Barber and Emily Barber, Mountain Brook, AL; two great-granddaughters, Sadie Lambert and Emma Brooks Lambert, Mobile, AL; and her brother, Arthur (Kay) Byrd, Greenfield, TN. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of fifty-three years, James Frederick Quinn; her parents, Arthur Brooks and Ila Grace Byrd; and her sister, Pamela Byrd Burnham.
Mrs. Quinn was a lifelong resident of Mobile and a 1958 graduate of Murphy High School. She was well-known in the legal field where she was employed for more than forty years. She was a member of Christ United Methodist Church and often was a greeter before Sunday services. She was a voracious reader and loved her friends, her co-workers, her Bunco group, Hallmark movies, Alabama Crimson Tide football, and most importantly, she loved her late husband, her three daughters and family. She was lovingly called “Mimi.”
An inspiration to many with her phenomenal outlook and perpetual cheerful attitude, Mrs. Quinn displayed incredible fortitude and faith during each of her diagnoses of cancer and while undergoing treatments. “Mimi” will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
The funeral service for Mrs. Quinn will be held on Monday, November 25, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. at Pine Crest Funeral Home on Dauphin Island Parkway. Visitation will be held for one hour prior to the service. Contributions in her memory may be made to the American Cancer Society in her name.
