Carol Davis Crow passed away Sunday, May 14, 2017, at her home in Franklin, Tennessee. Carol was 44 years old and had waged a mighty fight against a rare brain cancer known as Chordoma since 2009.

Carol Davis Crow was born on February 21, 1973, in Houston, Texas, to Dennis and Betty Davis. Carol joined her older brother Sid Davis. She graduated from Clements High School in Sugarland, Texas, in 1991.

Carol married Kyle Crow on October 13, 2007, and on April 14, 2009, their precious daughter Cassidy Erin was born. Carol was diagnosed with Chordoma just 48 hours after Cassidy’s birth.
