PUBLISHED OBITUARY:
Carlynn Nicole Beatty was born on July 22, 2000 to Robert & Sue Beatty.
She was the baby of the family, although you would not know it by the way she took charge of her two older brothers, Rick and Michael. She considered herself a Texan, despite being born in New York until moving to Frisco at age 3. She graduated from Centennial High School in 2018 and went on to attend Texas A&M in College Station where she had begun her Sophomore year studying Pre-Veterinary Science.
Carly’s greatest passion was animals. She loved all creatures….well, except BUGS! She was terrified by them and would run screaming anytime someone mentioned the word. She once ran in front of a truck because a bee was chasing her!
She was full of compassion not only for animals, but people as well. She was loving, inclusive, moral, reliable, quirky, and happy. Her favorite place to be was on the couch in her PJs with her dog, Honey, watching a movie with her family. It was likely a romance, Scooby Doo, Marvel, Harry Potter (of which she could recite by heart), or anything with Johnny Depp. Carly enjoyed learning. She loved to read and write. She was an excellent writer and artist. But mostly, she loved her family and friends fiercely. Her smile lit up every room she walked into.
Carly loved autumn. She was delighted during the season of pumpkins, Fall colors and fresh air. Maybe that is why Fall hasn’t arrived here in Texas yet. Carly isn’t here to enjoy it!
She enjoyed her involvement in youth group at Centennial Church, her sorority Kappa Delta, and being a staff member for the Freshman Leadership Organization (“FLOC”) at A&M. She loved being an Aggie and felt that it was exactly where she belonged.
She is survived by her parents, Rob and Sue Beatty, brothers Rick and Michael, and dogs Honey and Soshi of Frisco, Texas.
She truly lit up their lives every day. She was their “Sunshine” as they often called her. She brightened their days here on earth and is now shining that light in Heaven. She will be missed beyond measure but will continue to be loved through time and all eternity.
