Carolyn Marie Mace, 88, of Richwoods entered the presence of the lord on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. She was born to Clyde and Stella Jones on July 20, 1937.

She is survived by her daughter, Paula (Bryce) Faulkner; her son, John Mark (Carla) Mace; three granddaughters, Danielle (Peyton) Vinson, Ella Mace and Avery Mace; her niece, Sherry Westbrook and nephews, Michael (Jeanne) Westbrook and Neal (Carla) Westbrook.
Carolyn graduated from Jacksonville High School in 1955. She went on to work for First National Bank until later becoming a housewife and mother. She later fulfilled the role of secretary at Amboy Baptist Church where she was employed for 37 years until retirement. In her free time, she enjoyed completing crossword puzzles, crafts with her church family, singing in the church choir and watching game shows on television. She also enjoyed visiting with her family and granddogs.
The family would like to extend their deepest thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock for their support and services throughout this time.
Have many fond memories of your mom and dad! They were both great folks! remember having some good times as our families joined together for dinner and scrabble! My thoughts and prayers are with you and John Mark as you go thru this time of mourning but also rejoicing in the fact she is in Heaven and with the Lord and all those who knew her and loved her and have proceeded her to Heaven!
I have many memories associated with Mrs. Carolyn! She was a teacher in God’s house for myself and many others! She was sweet spirited and loved our Lord and Savior. She made children feel seen and important! I for one will treasure her memory as I know many others did also! I am thankful I will see her again and what a celebration we will have!!! Praying for all the family! Much ❤️ Love!
In 2001 I started as a youth pastor at Amboy Baptist Church. It was my first ministry position, and Carolyn was the secretary. She was such a sweetheart. She helped me out in so many way, and treated me like I was her grandson because I was 20. I loved walking through the halls yelling her name because the halls echoed. She was probably less than thrilled about it, but thankfully, always laughed about it.
Carolyn Mace left a legacy of love through her daughter Paula Mace Faulkner who I have worked with for 35 years. Her fingerprints are all over the kindness and consideration that Paula displays to all of her colleagues at the Rice Clinic. We are richer for having Paula in our lives and I know that’s a direct correlation to her mother Carolyn, may she rest in peace. Condolences to the entire family.
Such a sweet neighbor.
Carolyn Mace was the Aunt of my late mother, who passed away over 9 years ago. I have learned of Carolyn's passing when my family friend/adopted cousin posted of her passing. I called one of my other cousins to confirm and and give my condolences. Even though I cannot be physically present, I can say everybody that was privileged to be in Carolyn Mace's life were fortunate. She was one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
Mrs. Mace was such a sweetheart to my Mom!
Hugs & prayers to your family.
So sorry to hear about it mrs mace, she will be missed. We had such great memories of the Amboy days
