Carole McClure Obituary

Carole Shaw McClure, 74 of Appling, Georgia wife of 53 years to Gerald (Jerry) McClure passed away March, 7, 2017 surrounded by her family and friends at home. She was born December 29, 1942 in Athens, Georgia to Mamie and I.G. Shaw.

In addition to her husband, Carole is survived by a son William Preston McClure of Waynesville, North Carolina and a grandson Alex McClure Hickman. She is also survived by her sister and brother-in-law Toni and Milton Parr of Athens, Georgia, nephews Wade and Zack Parr of St. Simons Island, Georgia and brother-in-law and sister-in-law Bill and Judi McClure of Appling, Georgia.

Carole was an avid golfer and loved to bowl with special bowling teammates Roy and Lessie Elrod.

Carole always put others' wellbeing above her own and never let an opportunity pass by to help family and friends.

As young teen-agers Carole and I rode my horse, Dan, together for miles on Saturdays. I have fond memories of her and am sorry that I lost touch after we graduated from high school. I remember Toni, also.

God bless for a beautiful young lady whom I was lucky to claim as my first date in Athens, Ga. before I could even drive. My Mother took us to the Georgia Theater where we saw "APRIL LOVE". At 75, that is still my fondest memory. To Jerry and family: God Bless and relish your life witha very special LADY.
