Carolyn Aubrey Humphries, 88, died Tuesday, July 26, 2016, in Savannah, GA. She was born in Waynesboro, PA, but she loved her Southern roots and moved to Georgia after her marriage to Dr. Arthur L. Humphries. Carolyn was fiercely proud of her family and enjoyed telling stories of her ancestors and their adventures. As a life-long singer and pianist, Carolyn’s life was always full of music.
A graduate of Sweet Briar College, Carolyn was passionate about historic preservation and was the first Executive Director of Historic Augusta in Augusta, GA. Her delight in research into historic buildings led her to work as a member of the Georgia National Register Review Board, as the Director of the Historic Resources Commission of Asheville and Buncombe County, NC, and as a historic preservation consultant for the North Carolina Division of Archives and History. She was active in the Episcopal Church and in 1968 was the first woman elected to a vestry in the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia. She was a member of the Garden Club of America, the Association of Junior Leagues, and the National Society of Colonial Dames of America. While in Augusta, Carolyn was a co-founder of the Richmond County Home Health Agency, Augusta, the first non-profit home health service in Georgia.
Carolyn is pre-deceased by her sister, Louise Aubrey McFarland.
A memorial service with interment will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Augusta, GA, Saturday, August 6th, at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to a favorite charity or to Savannah Country Day School.
