Carla Gay

Mcalister

Carla McAlister was born on January 12, 1957, to Carl and Voncille Jones. She was raised in Electra, Texas, and chose to call the Little Oil Town home most of her life. Carla could always be found behind a camera taking photos of family and friends. People sometimes wondered why this was, and the answer is simple. She loved making memories with those she cherished the most and wanted to remember them forever. She was always found in cute outfits; she could even be considered a collector of shoes! If you look good you feel good, right! Something she loved more than cheetah print and turquoise were her grandchildren. They were her pride and joy, and she took every opportunity she could to be with them, whether that be at a softball tournament, stock show, or a Marine boot camp graduation. Anytime she was around them she was happy and nothing else mattered. On January 23, 2023, after a brief battle with cancer, she came face to face with Jesus and became free of pain. Carla is reunited with her Dad and we are certain they are exchanging stories and catching up from the past 3 years.

She is survived by her mother, Voncille Jones, daughters, Courtney Hargrove and Jami Fulfer along with their husbands, Brad Hargrove and Jeremy Fulfer, grandchildren, Cale Crook, Madison Fulfer, Ashdyn Fulfer, Cambrie Crook, and Piper Fulfer, and bonus grandchildren, Maycie Hargrove, Braden Hargrove, and Lainey Hargrove, as well as her sisters and families: Lou Ann and Buzz Boswell and nephews and families Blane and Kristi Boswell and Cooper and Blaise and Kelly Boswell and Bryson and Carson, Nona and Greg Spies and nephew Mitchel and Niece Carann, and Uncle and Aunt Ralph and Nita Carter. Although we grieve, let us find peace in the fact that she is dancing with the angels in heaven. She is home at last. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.

All these things are gone forever." Revelation 21:4. 143XO.
