Carol Overby

Carol Wyatt Overby, 77, of Asheboro, passed away on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at The Randolph Hospice House in Asheboro.

Carol was born on April 18, 1949, in Ashe County, NC, the daughter of the late Martin Lee Wyatt, Sr. and Bonnie Blanche Parton. She worked for many years as a mail carrier with the United States Postal Service in Greensboro. Carol had a creative spirit and enjoyed a variety of crafts, especially painting, sewing, crocheting, and cross-stitching. She also loved spending time outdoors, tending to her yard, and planting flowers. An avid reader, Carol enjoyed reading a good book. Pink was her favorite color, and she was a true do-it-yourselfer who was never afraid to take on a new project or challenge. She had a knack for creating things and a willingness to tackle just about anything.

In addition to her parents, Carol was preceded in death by her brothers, Martin Wyatt, Jr. and Freddy Wyatt, and her sister, Betty Lyalls.

She is survived by her husband of 30 years, John Overby; son, Lonnie Wilson; brothers, Roger Wyatt and Kenneth Wyatt (Sandy); grandson, Bryson Garrison; and Bryson's mother, Lequita Garrison.

No services are scheduled at this time.
