Mrs. Carol Paulette Tucker - Wood

Mrs. Carol Paulette Tucker Wood, age 79, of Rome, Georgia, passed away on Sunday, February 22, 2026, surrounded by her family at a local nursing facility. 

Mrs. Wood was born in Polk County, Georgia, on September 17, 1946, daughter of the late Artie Lee Brown and the late Paulene Cornelia Solomon Brown. Along with her parents, she is also preceded in death by one sister, Connie Garner and two brothers, Gary Brown and Phil Brown.

Mrs. Wood was a person who loved the simple things in life and doing anything she could to show her love to her family. Her favorite color was red and roses in that color were her favorite flowers! She enjoyed cooking and filling their bellies, and it is agreed that her chicken and dressing was the best around! If you had a sweet tooth, all you had to do was eat one her famous date nut rolls. She lovingly crocheted blankets for them to keep them warm. When she took time for herself it was to work a good crossword puzzle or to dip her feet in the water at Big Spring Park in Cedartown, Georgia. She was of the Baptist faith and shared with others thru her skill of being a wonderful piano player. Carol was a part of Gary, Phil, and the Brownettes traveling group. Carol loved her family and the time they spent together more than anything else. She will be greatly missed by them, and all who knew her.

Survivors include her husband, Stephen "Steve" Wood; one daughter, Trenna (Brian) Furlong; two sons, Kip (Tonya) Moore and Clay (Pamela) Moore; ten grandchildren, Bryna (Joshua) Fowler, Brent (Taylor) Furlong, Hannah (Kody) Brinkman, Ian Moore, Alaric Moore, Kasey Moore, Kip Moore Jr., Nicole Moore, Brandon Dunn, Cheyenne Fowler; two great grandchildren, Sienna Fowler and Sadie Moore; one sister, Brenda Gaylor; special friend, Misty Fowler; numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to give a special thank you to A Bridge Home Hospice and Evergreen Health and Rehab for the compassionate and excellent care given to Carol.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully asks that donations be made instead to the funeral home to go toward her funeral expenses.
