    The day she was born God had a plan and purpose for Carrell's life. Whatever task was placed in her capable hands she completed and accomplished knowing it was a job well done. She was personable, friendly and kind. Hair Flair reflected her good business sense. Her shop was a a social media place where people were not just clients but friends. A person of hospitality, Carrell's warmth and inviting presences always made you feel accepted and cared for in her environment.Loyal friend, faithful wife and mother, savvy business woman, great decorator and homemaker, a woman of many talents to numerous to list, but her greatest testimony was her love for Jesus Christ. Carrell, you will be missed. Love you. McCollum family may God strengthen, encourage and comfort in your grieving time. ~ Maxine Thomas, Sherman, Texas
