Mrs. Carnley was born December 2, 1955 in Meridian, Mississippi to the late Gladys Aylene (Goforth) and James Ovette Conn, and died Tuesday, November 5, 2019 in Houston at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Mrs. Carnley was a Paralegal and worked for Stephen Zayler for 25 years and had also worked for Jimmy Cassells, Clay Dark, and William Winston. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was a devout Christian and was a member of Cornerstone United Pentecostal Church. Mrs. Carnley was an accomplished seamstress, sewing her own clothes since she was a child. She started playing the piano and organ for the churches her family attended from the age of 13, and in later years was in a gospel singing group with her husband, Mark. Sherry enjoyed traveling to wonderful destinations with Mark, but the joy of her life was her granddaughters. She always made sure to see they had everything they needed or wanted, attended all their cheerleading events, and showered them with unconditional love from their Nana!
