God granted us an angel on July 31, 2024, by the name of JOURNI ANNETTE MAE CARELOCK. Journi was strong and her eyes and smile lit up the room and melted your heart. She was soft as a feather.
Our “Newna” & “Snuk”, our little angel was called to the Lord on April 9, 2025.
She is preceded by her grandparents, Ralph and Linda Ingram and Ernest Pemberton.
Journi is survived by her parents: Anthony and Mary Carelock. She is also survived by grandmother, Rachel Carelock and Uncle Robert Rome, both of Ansonville, NC. Aunts: Nanette (Philip) Patterson of Rockingham, NC, Chanel (Eldric) Polk, Latasha (Bruce) Hall, Latraya Ingram (Dennis) all of Burnsville, NC, and Monique Ingram of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Journi has a host of great Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We would like to recognize Journi’s special Aunt Bertha Carelock. We appreciate the care and love that you gave our little one.
The services to honor the gift of Journi’s precious life will be on Saturday, April 19, 2025, 1:00pm, Smith’s Memorial Chapel, 604 Salisbury Street, Wadesboro, North Carolina. Interment will be in the family plot of the Cedar Hill AME Zion Church Cemetery, Ansonville, North Carolina.

On behalf of Myself and the staff of Anson County Sheriff's Office, we extend our deepest sympathies to the family at this time. We pray that you will find comfort in the midst of your pain and peace in the midst of your sorrow.
Journi, I just want to let you know that you were so loved - not only by your mom, dad and members of your family, but also by folks whom you never even met. We got to see you grow through the glowing smile on your mother's face as God was forming your perfect little body in the womb - and boy did she love you, even before she ever saw your face. And while we grieve your loss here on Earth, we're so blessed to have had you grace this world with your presence. Give Jesus a hug for all of us.
Our condolences and prayers go out to you in this time of loss. Just know that you are not alone. There are no words or actions - just faith and time will help. God Bless you. Love, Smith family in Charlotte
