Mrs. Champion went to be with her Lord on September 21, 2021, at her home in Cushing, Texas surrounded by her loving family. She was born March 9, 1935, in El Dorado, Arkansas to the late Carl P. and Versa Lee (Jackson) Miller.

Mrs. Champion was a homemaker and also held the position of Financial Secretary for First Baptist Church in Luling, Louisiana. She was a charter member of the church and served as church organist for over 55 years. Carolyn also served as a secretary for Union Carbide Chemical Plant. Carolyn enjoyed doting on her family and traveling. She was a master seamstress who loved to cross stitch and made the best banana pudding in the world. Mrs. Champion was without a doubt a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, and friend to all. Most importantly, she cherished her faith and demonstrated it. She had the patience of a saint and was a true woman of God. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Edward Kenneth Delk; daughter-in-law, Lorraine Borne Delk; and son-in-law, Quentin Sterling Burnett. Survivors include her husband of 12 years, Ross L. Champion. She was the loving mother to Stephan Louis Delk and Amy Delk Burnett. Her grandchildren include Jennifer Delk Lambert and husband Ched and their children Drake Lambert, Dior Lambert, and Drycen Lambert; Hollie Delk Mule’ and husband Dustin and their children Hunter Mule’ and Hayden Mule’; Kimberly Wiginton Gamboa and husband Joshua and their daughter Makayla Jo Gamboa; and Michael Clay Wiginton. In addition to her own children and grandchildren, Mrs. Champion is survived by Ross’ children, Marcia Champion Newton and husband Jesse, Amy Champion Ivanhoe and husband Lee, Theresa Champion Discavage and husband Tom, and Lisa Champion Wright and husband Patrick, along with their families; as well as a host of cousins, other family, and many friends.
