Carla Rochelle Pierce, born on July 11, 1962, in Kansas City, Kansas, passed away on January 7, 2024, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Carla, affectionately known as Rochelle, was a caring mother, grandmother, and cherished friend. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Simone Snell, and three grandchildren, Demarsha Williams, Amajay Abdi Snell Walker, and Amillia Pearl Walker.

Carla was a proud Certified Nursing Assistant, always aspiring to help others and ensure their well-being. Her compassion extended beyond her profession, as she deeply cared for family and friends, often hosting lively gatherings filled with music, barbecue, and laughter. She had a passion for reading, writing, and cooking, often dreaming of penning children’s books in her spare time.

Carla found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was enjoying vanilla ice cream, spending time by the water, or cheering on her grandson at football games. She was a devoted Christian who loved to pray and found strength in her faith, living by the motto, “God Has The Final Answer.”

Though her parents have passed, Carla leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and joy that touched everyone around her. She will be remembered for her vibrant personality, her love for music—especially artists like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, and Chaka Khan—and her unwavering belief in the power of prayer. Carla loved the sun, the beauty of Hawaii and Jamaica, and the happiness of being surrounded by her family. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
