In the heart of Kinston, North Carolina, the Albritton-Carraway Funeral Home stands as a beacon of compassion and care during life’s most challenging moments. With over a century of service, this establishment has become synonymous with dignity and respect for those who have passed away and their grieving families.
Each obituary tells a story—a narrative woven from memories shared among family members and friends. For instance, Shirley Ann Dunkle's passing on December 24, 2025, at age 81 was marked by her lifelong connection to Ithaca. Born on September 13, 1944, she embodied resilience and warmth that touched many lives in King Ferry.
Similarly poignant is the remembrance of Cheryl A. Blackwood from Ithaca—who left us too soon at just 58 years old on December 14th—and Terry Ecker whose journey ended at age 70 but not before leaving an indelible mark through his kindness.
The staff at Albritton-Carraway understands that each life deserves to be celebrated uniquely. They offer various services tailored to honor diverse faiths and customs while ensuring affordability without compromising quality or compassion. Their commitment extends beyond mere logistics; it encompasses emotional support for families navigating grief.
As you read through these obituaries—from Marian M. Brand's gentle departure after nearly ninety-three years to Karen Kimberly Sciarabba’s sudden loss—you can feel the weight of love intermingled with sorrow in every word penned about them.
Albritton-Carraway invites community members to trust them during these times when words often fail us; they strive to provide peace amidst chaos by guiding families through arrangements with sincerity and understanding.
