Carrie Belinda Fife

Carrie Belinda Fife, 57, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, departed this life on Monday, August 3, 2026, at St. Bernards Medical Center.

Born on October 20, 1968, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Carrie was the daughter of the late Earl and Barbara Pipkin. She worked over twenty years with her Quad Graphics family and dedicated her last 13 years to serving others as the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) Coordinator at St. Bernards Medical Center, where she faithfully formed lasting friendships with coworkers.

Carrie had a passion for fishing and kayaking and found great joy in the outdoors. She loved taking scenic drives, traveling, and especially cherished trips to her favorite destinations, Gatlinburg and Roanoke. She enjoyed spending time with her family, tending her garden, and growing fresh ingredients to make her homemade salsa. Carrie also loved cooking, watching cooking shows, following outdoor adventures on YouTube, and making memories with those she loved.

In addition to her parents, Carrie was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Monis and Velma Pipkin, and her maternal grandparents, Herbert and Marie Meeker.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 38 years, Robert Fife of the home; two daughters, Ashley Forsythe and husband, Wes, of Roanoke, Virginia, and Kelli Kimble and husband, Jeremy, of Weiner, Arkansas; one brother, Earl Pipkin Jr. of Powhatan, Arkansas; one nephew, Gage Pipkin of Little Rock, Arkansas; and a lifetime of cherished friends who will forever remember her kindness, laughter, and love.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Emerson Funeral Home.

Carrie's love for her family, her adventurous spirit, and her warm heart will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
