On a rainy afternoon, Carla Marie Purvine, of Edmond, OK, passed away in an automobile accident, she was 56 years old. Carla was born on January 27, 1969, and left our lives far too early on that fateful day, April 26, 2025. She was born to Marie Pope and Bobby Williams of Okmulgee, OK.
In her youth, she attended and graduated from Morris Public Schools. She later went onto receive a Bachelor's Degree from Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, OK. Soon after, she married Brett Purvine and moved to Oklahoma City metropolitan area to start her own family and pursue her career.
Carla began her career at Integris Health Cardiovascular Physicians and had a tenured, rewarding position within Human Resources for more than 14 years. The greatest achievement of her life was then fulfilled by the birth of her only child and daughter, Kymber, thus completing her family. Being a mother to Kymber was the greatest calling for Carla. She was honored and proud to be gifted with such a beautiful and intelligent child who grew into a strong and vibrant woman, that she could call friend.
She is survived by her adoring daughter, Kymber Purvine of Oklahoma City, OK, her loving mother, Marie Wixson of Okmulgee, OK, her devoted brothers, Seth and Sabra Wixson of Midwest City, OK, and Wyatt and Stacy Wixson of Keifer, OK. She is preceded in death by her grandparents.
Although Carla's physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May her memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth her legacy of love and compassion in all that we do.
A celebration of Carla's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Matthews Funeral Home, 601 S. Kelly Ave., Edmond, OK, 73003.
