It is with heavy hearts and cherished memories that we announce the peaceful passing of Carla Iannone on November 6, 2026, at her beloved home. Born on October 5, 1951, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Carla was a beacon of love and joy to all who knew her. She graced this world with her vibrant spirit for 75 years, touching the hearts of family and friends alike.
Carla was the cherished daughter of Ralph Thomas McFadden and Willie Dean McFadden, fondly known as Deannie. She has joined her beloved husband, Nick Iannone, her parents, and her brother Tommy McFadden in eternal rest. Her legacy continues through her devoted children, Jamie Iannone, David Iannone and his wife Trina, Elizabeth Gulledge and her husband Trey, and Anna Sanders. Carla’s life was further enriched by her 16 adoring grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of immense pride and joy. She is also survived by her loving siblings, Darla Smith and her husband Clyde, Billy McFadden and his wife Donna, and Jimmy McFadden and his wife Pat, and her favorite aunt, Frances Sample.
Carla’s professional life was marked by her dedication and passion for customer service, a career she embraced wholeheartedly. Her warm demeanor and genuine care for others were evident in her 16 years at Kitchens Kitchen, 17 years at Tropical Escape, and 16 years at Winthrop University, all in her hometown of Rock Hill. Her colleagues and customers fondly remember her kindness and unwavering commitment.
Beyond her professional life, Carla found joy in the simple pleasures that life offered. She was happiest surrounded by her family, sharing laughter and love over home-cooked meals. Carla loved the beach, and her joy for dancing was a reflection of her vibrant and spirited nature.
A celebration of Carla’s life will take place on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM at Greene Funeral Home Northwest Chapel, located at 2133 Ebenezer Rd, Rock Hill, SC. The family will receive friends prior from 2:00pm-2:45pm. Interment will follow at Forest Hills Cemetery, 4290 Old York Rd, Rock Hill, SC.
