Summary
Carly Douglas of Greer, South Carolina, died after a rapid fight with stage 4 gastric cancer, leaving behind her husband, David, and their 3 young children.
Family friend Mary Keller and mother-in-law Renita McKinley Douglas confirmed the death on social media after Douglas’ diagnosis had drawn wide online attention and local support.
A GiveSendGo campaign titled “Fight Like Carly” set a $100,000 goal to cover treatment, medical bills and household costs as David stepped away from work to care for her.
More than 130 people joined a Meal Train organized by family friends, with meals booked through July 2026 and support continuing after her hospitalization and death.
The fundraiser remains active as relatives, church members and strangers continue backing a family whose story resonated far beyond their South Carolina community.
