Carrie L Newton

Ms. Carrie L. Coaxum-Williams-Newton was born July 1st, 1936, in Walterboro, South Carolina to the late James (Brave Boy) Coaxum and Hattie Mae Joyner and Jerry Johnson. She transitioned into eternal rest April 2nd, 2021, at home in St. Paul, Minnesota.

“Binky” as she was affectionately known was a graduate of  Colleton County High School, and continued her education at Claflin University. Binky was employed at Garland Knitting Company for  numerous years until the Lord called her to do  ministry. Her ministry took her to many places; but what was most rewarding is when she preached on top of Pikes Peak Mountain in Colorado Springs

Binky joins her beloved son in heaven, David Lee Newton, her sister, WillaBelle Mary Brown, and husband, James Calvin Williams.

At an early age Carrie accepted Christ into her life and joined Mount Olive Baptist Church in Walterboro, South Carolina. During her tenure at Mount Olive She served on the gospel choir and senior choir as lead soloist. Her voice was so spiritually filled that she was called upon to sing the Our Father Prayer at the inauguration of Senator Fritz Hollings of South Carolina. She was offered a record deal with RCA Records but turned down the offer because she was devoted to the lord. Throughout her lifetime Binky touched many with her voice and will be truly missed by each one of them.
