Carolyn Diaz

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Carolyn Diaz, a cherished wife, mother, sister, and friend. Born in 1959, Carolyn spent her life spreading joy and kindness to everyone she met.

Carolyn was a beacon of warmth, always offering a listening ear and supportive shoulder.

Her love for sunny beaches, shelling, romance novels, horseback riding and her fur babies, Kona & Salem, was surpassed only by her love for her beloved husband, family, lifelong friends and new friends.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Ron; sister and best friend; family; long time friends; nieces and nephews; an incredible great niece; and a community of incredible new friends who will continue to honor her memory by living with the same grace and compassion she displayed every day.

A prayer service to celebrate Carolyn's life will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 2026 at the Miller & Van Essendelft Funeral Home, 735 Virginia Road, Edenton, NC. A floating reception from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. will proceed and follow the prayer service on Friday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to her favorite charity, K-9 New Life, P.O. Box 6427, Virginia Beach, VA 23456 https://www.k9newlife.org/

Rest in peace, Dear Carolyn. Your spirit and love will continue to blossom in our hearts.
