Euclee "Lee" Carry

January 2, 1932 - May 22, 2013

Leesburg – Euclee “Lee” Carry, 81, daughter of the late Precilla “Cilla” Taylor and the late Mallon Eric Fowler, confident of God’s forgiveness through Christ’s death and resurrection, entered the presence of the Lord on Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Ms. Carry was born in Nicholls, Georgia on January 2, 1932. She came to Florida in 1944 and this is where she called home. Ms. Carry was the keeper of many secrets as the long-time bartender at the Leesburg Elks Club, and many knew her as their confidant. She had a zest for life and her family was the very essence of her being. Ms Carry loved spending time with family, friends, and knew no stranger. She had a love for nature and gardening her flowers. She loved spending time with her best friend playing cards for hours. She loved to laugh, cook, and had a wonderful sense of humor that always kept everyone laughing. Her faith was strong and evident through the way she led her life, even when she took her last breath. Ms. Carry was preceded by her sister, Mina Lee Joyce Donaldson and her brother, Warnie Wilford Folwer. She is survived by her sisters, Selma Faye Kegan and Rilla Anne Batts; her children, Patricia Gale Stewart (son, Mark Miller and daughter, Nikki Smith); Precilla Diane Carr (son, Tony Carr and daughter Erica Woodard); Edward Dale Nelson (sons, Edward Dale Nelson, II and Adam Nelson-Potash); and Paula Michelle Sullivan (sons, Austin Taylor Sullivan, Zachary Payton Sullivan and Mason Wyatt Sullivan); 8 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. “Heaven is my Estate; Earth is my porch… one day I’ll step off my porch and into my Estate and be here no more.” A memorial service celebrating Lee’s life will be held on Sunday, June 2, 2013 at Good News Church, 108 S. 5th Street, Leesburg, Florida, at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Ms. Carry’s memory to The Villages Cornerstone Hospice, 601 Casa Bella, The Villages, FL 32162
