Carroll Talmadge Crow, Jr., also known as “C.T.” or “Tammy” to his family, of Lafayette, Louisiana, formerly of Lake Bruin, and Tallulah, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on January 8, 2023, in Huntsville, Alabama. He was 81.
Carroll was born to parents Carroll Talmadge Sr. and Frances Crow of Tallulah, Louisiana, where he grew up. He graduated from Tallulah High School and Northeast Louisiana State College in Monroe. He married Carolyn Ann Hill and they recently celebrated their 60th anniversary.
Carroll was a former high school football referee, master of the barbeque chicken and shrimp stew, and enjoyed watching college football, always rooting for the LSU Tigers. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing, a pastime he passed down to the younger generations. Carroll was gregarious, warm and friendly, never met a stranger, and the epitome of southern hospitality.

Hill, Jr., of Lake Bruin; and beloved nephews, a niece, and their families. Carroll was preceded in death by the recent passing of his wife, Carolyn; and by his parents and his grandson Carson Burcham of Oxford, Mississippi.
