Hi, my name is Carla Peters and I am the Office Manager for Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home in Jonesboro. I started working for Southern Funeral Home 35 years ago where I handle the bookkeeping and assist with life insurance claims.

Prior to my tenure with Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home, I worked or Old South Life Insurance Company in Jonesboro for about 14 years. When Old South Life was sold I came to work for Southern Funeral Home-Jonesboro office. Bill Staples was great to work with and I still miss him every day.

People ask me often, when I am going to retire. My answer always is: Why retire?

I work with great people, get to help people, and I enjoy that.

My husband Mike (Pete) and I are members at Jonesboro Assembly of God and we have 2 children, Shane (wife Holly) and Sunni (husband Aaron); six beautiful granddaughters: Kaleigh, Preslie, Eden, Mercy, Cana, River, and one precious grandson, John Avery.
