Carolyn Bagwell passed gracefully on the morning of September 4, 2026 at her home in Round Rock, Texas at age 73. She was born in December, 1952 in Orange, Texas to parents Clyde and Delane Langston.
Carolyn lived in Orange County for most of her life, graduating from Little Cypress Mauriceville High School and earning an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene from Lamar University.
In 2008, Carolyn relocated to Central Texas, taking a position in Austin with the State of Texas Senate Staff Services transcribing legislative documents. She retired in December 2019.
Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents and by her brothers, Burl and Brian Langston. She is survived by her husband of 37 years and ten months, Steve, her daughter Natalie and son-in-law Jason Welsh, and her grandchildren Travis and Emily. She is also survived by her twin sister, Marilyn Langston.
In the weeks preceding her passing Carolyn was cared for in her home by the wonderful nurses and caregivers of AccentCare Hospice. In those days she was surrounded by the love of her family; her nephew, Daniel Bagwell and spouse Monica; her niece, Sarah Rudy and spouse Don. Their children were a delight and comfort to her so often in those days.
Many friends both distant and close, as well as neighbors came to support Carolyn in her final days. It was a joy to her and a fitting tribute to be surrounded by those she loved so much.
Carolyn’s family wish to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff of Texas Oncology Austin and Round Rock who cared for her during the year of her struggle against cancer. They eased her pain, comforted her, and extended her life.
A service to honor Carolyn will be held at Beck Funeral Home, 1700 E. Whitestone Blvd., Cedar Park, Texas on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 2 pm. Visitation will be in the hour preceding the service. The remembrance ceremony will be officiated by longtime friend, Rev. Stephen Saunders. A brief memorial will follow at Georgetown I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made in Carolyn’s honor to the American Cancer Society.
