Carolyn Francis Into
June 22, 1941 - June 15, 2023
Carolyn Francis Netherton Into was born in Altus, Oklahoma to Zee
and Dorothy Wicker Netherton on June 22, 1941. She graduated from
Altus High School in 1959. She attended Southwestern College in
Weatherford, Oklahoma, where she was a member of the Delta Zeta
Sorority. She graduated in 1963 to begin her teaching career, and
taught in Hammon, Oklahoma from 1964-65. She then returned to her
hometown to teach on the Altus Air Force Base at Falcon/L Mendel
Rivers Elementary until 1975. While there, she met and married the
love of her life, Henry Into, to whom she was married 30 years.
July 4, 1975, the family moved to Palacios, Texas, which proved to
be “home” for the rest of her life. She took time off from teaching
to raise her 2 youngest daughters. It was during this time that she
became well known for her ability to cook, especially her donuts.
She would often be seen giving away her goodies around town and
loved making someone’s day. Once her youngest was in high school,
Carolyn returned to teaching in 1989 and joined the crew at
Tidehaven Jr. High, where she taught more than 20 years. She loved
teaching, especially teaching students who struggled academically or
behaviorally.
Carolyn loved garage sales, bag and clearance sales, and just
visiting with people. She talked to everyone and loved meeting
strangers, who would quickly become her friend. One of her
favorite things to do, was to ride around HEB letting anyone who
would listen know where the good deals were. In fact, a few of her
last outings when she no longer drove, her daughter would drop her
off at HEB with a fully charged cart and oxygen tank and she would
call to get picked up when her oxygen ran low.
Everyone who knew her well, knew she was very particular about her
hair. The last few years, one of the highlights of her week was
traveling to Palacios to let Rosie “rat“ her hair up, and to play
the piano or organ for her church family. For several years, every
Sunday, Carolyn would travel to Midfield Church to play for the
service, then travel to Palacios First Baptist and play for that
service. Most Sundays she would then travel to the Blessing Hotel
Coffee Shop and help Ms. Helen keep the lunch crowd flowing. Her
last Sunday to play at church or “work” at the Coffee Shop was
Easter, 2023.
Carolyn was the Queen of Bling no matter how bad she felt. In fact,
while many knew of her dependence on oxygen, few truly knew the
physical struggles she dealt with as she always made sure she had
the perfect outfit and matching accessories. She wanted to “run the
roads” and embrace life, enjoy people, and give away as much jewelry
and treats as she could. She absolutely loved making someone’s day
and truly lived to do so. She will be truly missed by all who knew
her.
Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents and brother, George
Lynn Netherton. She is survived by her children: Marolyn Evans and
husband Lyndell of Altus, Oklahoma, Tim Wright of Palacios, Emily
Soderlund and husband David of Altus, and Mollisondra Bodungen and
husband Gary of El Campo, Texas. Ten grandchildren: Mary Jones,
Teresa Moorman, Jessica Ramirez, Carolyn Wright, Lindsay Spandley,
Bradley Spandley, Lana Spandley, Britten Spandley, Brandon Bodungen,
and Blake Bodungen. Five Great Grandchildren: Mason Jones, Kera
Ramirez, Lily Ramirez, Liam Wright, and Henry Spandley. She is also
survived by her sister, Marcia Rowland.
Visitation will begin at 9:00 AM Thursday, June 22, 203 at the First
Baptist Church in Palacios. Funeral service will be at 10:00 AM
with Rev. Matthew Gore and James Collins officiating. She will be
interred near her parents in the Blair Cemetery in Blair, Oklahoma
at a later date.

Johnson, Harry Thomas and Lee Vaughan, plus many others, including
family members, neighbors and friends who so graciously gave of
their time to do so many wonderful things for our Mother. You will
always have a special place in our hearts. We know you had a special
place in our Mother’s heart.
