Carr Fuqua

Eva Denise Carr Fuqua, 69, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2026, in Midland, Texas, surrounded by the love of her family.

Denise was born on November 10, 1956, in Kermit, Texas, to Bob and Sandra Carr. She graduated from Kermit High School and married the love of her life, Jerry Fuqua, on April 3, 1973. Together they built a life centered on love, family, and creating lasting memories.

Lovingly known as "Nese," Denise was a creative soul who was always working on a new project, trying a new recipe, or finding ways to make those around her feel loved. Whether she was crafting, cooking, or simply spending time with those she cherished most, her greatest joy was always her family. She was a devoted mother, sister, and a loving Nana whose heart was fullest when she was surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each of them held a special place in her heart, and the love she gave them will be remembered forever.

Denise is survived by her children, Jeromy Fuqua of Austin and Eva Janine Fuqua of Big Spring; her grandchildren, Trista Gonzales of Big Spring, Zoe Fuqua of Michigan, Tori Gonzales of Sweetwater, and James "Bubba" Gonzales of South Carolina; as well as six beloved great-grandchildren, all of whom she adored beyond measure.She is also survived by her sisters, Gina Seales and husband Teddy of Midland, and Kara Warren and husband David of Sweetwater.

Denise was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jerry Fuqua, on July 3, 2011, and by her parents, Bob and Sandra Carr.

Though her family mourns her passing, they find comfort in the countless memories she leaves behind—the laughter she shared, the meals she prepared, the projects she poured her heart into, and the unconditional love she gave so freely. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her, and she will be deeply missed every day.

Memorial Service for Denise will be held on Saturday July 25,2026 at 2:00pm at Broadway Baptist, Sweetwater, TX . All services are under the direction of McCoy Funeral Home. Online condolences may be expressed at www.mccoyfh.com.
