Survivors include his wife, Jackie Hammer Carnes, Tyler; sons Rod Carnes, Houston, Texas, Randy Carnes, Tyler, and Rick Carnes, Dallas, Texas; and five grandchildren.

Another longtime Church of God member, C. Wayne Cole of Tyler, conducted the funeral service Nov. 5. It was attended by friends from many Church of God groups.

Mrs. Carnes receives mail at 3606 Oak Leaf Cir., Tyler, Texas 75707, U.S.A.
