Rev. Floyd Adam Carr, 88, a resident of Hendricks, departed this life Thursday afternoon, Feb. 7, 2008, at Hendricks, at the home of his granddaughter, Rebecca Booth. Death was attributed to cardiac arrest.

He was born Sunday, Sept. 7, 1919, at Gladwin, a son of the late Oliver Homer Carr and Louisa Virginia Carr Carr.

On Jan. 24, 1939, at Hendricks, he was married to the former Betty Jo Ketterman, who preceded him in death Feb. 19, 2004. They had celebrated 65 years of marriage.

Surviving are two sons, Floyd Lowell Carr and wife, Virginia, of Hendricks and Alfred L. “Tim” Carr and wife, Janet, of Montrose; one daughter, Sueann Pittman and husband, Frank, of Parsons; seven grandchildren, Kathy Jo Hoffner, Rebecca Booth, Vicki Mowery, John Pittman, Tara Pittman, Timothy Paul Carr and Floyd Mahlon Carr; 13 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

He was the last surviving member of his immediate family having been preceded in death by six brothers, the Rev.

He was saved in 1946 and began his ministering in 1954. He became an ordained minister and was licensed in 1955. He taught teen and adult Sunday school classes and was the assistant pastor to his sister, the Rev. Lily Plaughter, until her retirement in 1988.

He was respected and well known in the Pentecostal Church and throughout the community. He was the mentor and stability to his family and his church family. He was very proud of his church, which was started by his sister in 1939, and it has always been known for its outstanding music. The Rev.
