Polly Floyd Carmichael

Mrs. Polly Floyd Carmichael departed this life on Wednesday, March 21, 2018, at her residence after a brief illness.

She was the third oldest of eight children born to the late Refus and Rebecca Gerald Floyd.  Polly was educated in the Marion County School System.  She worked numerous jobs throughout her life.  Polly was employed by the Bulova Watch Company, Marvel Lamp, and Russell Stover Candies to name a few.  The most fulfilling job and the one that gave her great joy was working as a healthcare provider at the Marion County Convalescent Home in Marion from which she retired.

Polly was predeceased by her parents, husband, and seven brothers – Sylvester, Cleveland, Refus “Bud”, Theodore “Yank”, Don, Kirby, and Rudolph Floyd.

Polly was the “Mother” of Williams Chapel AME.  She worked tirelessly in the church from a very young age up to a few weeks prior to her illness.  She was active in many church ministries and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Progress Lodge 104.
