Lee Carroll Obituary

Although her husband's job meant frequently relocating, Lee Carroll always found a way to make life fun and comfortable for a family constantly on the move.
Once the boxes were unpacked, she'd act quickly to find a new church and make new friends. With her outgoing personality and skills as an artist, photographer and champion swimmer and diver, she organized activities for her children, their friends and families.
Her creativity and resourcefulness kept the family grounded and eased relocation anxiety. "I thought she showed a lot of character and gumption to move to all these places and start over when Daddy was traveling a lot," said her daughter Glenn Carroll Boatenreiter of Decatur. "On the one hand, it was hard. On the other, it was romantic because she made such a big deal when he came home."
Carroll died March 30 at her son's Roswell home. She was 87. Read the news obituary
