Carolyn M. Srygley

Carolyn M. Srygley, 57, of Fayetteville, Ark., passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her close family and best friend on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013. Carolyn was an amazing mother, a trusted friend and the proudest "Nana" to her two grandsons. She fulfilled her dream of starting her own gift and invitation store, So Inviting in Fayetteville, which will celebrate its 10-year anniversary in November. Over the years, Carolyn had many passions, including playing golf, quilting, cooking, reading, and more. She was also an animal lover, especially to her beloved cat, Jade. She was a yellow-dog Democrat and had the opportunity to travel with the Advance Team during the Clinton Administration. She is a past president of the Ladies' Golf Association of the Russellville County Club and a lifetime member of the Junior Auxiliary of Russellville. She had such a caring heart and was always thinking of others. She will be truly missed by many. She was born Oct. 16, 1955, in Maywood, Calif., to Raymond Triplett and Judy Napier Triplett. She is survived by one son, Trey Srygley and wife, Elyse, of Fayetteville, Ark.; one daughter, Amanda Rogers and husband, Kyle, of Fayetteville; two grandsons, Cole and Cade Rogers; her mother, Judy Triplett of Springdale, Ark.; her father, Raymond Triplett of Fort Smith, Ark.; and her sister, Janice Spradley of Fort Smith, Ark.
