Carla Lee Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by A Natural State Funeral Service & Crematory on Sep. 29, 2025.
Carla Marie Lee, 71, of Malvern, Arkansas, passed away on September 19, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on November 14, 1953, in Santa Rosa, California, Carla was the daughter of the late Robert "Jack" Ambrose and Beverley June Ambrose.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Fred "Bubby" Lee; her daughter, Lisa Lee, her grandson, Cody Lee; and her father.

Carla is survived by her children: Crystal Harris (Jerry), Fred Lee (Terri), Beverley Hartley (Kevin), Chad Lee (Brandy), and her son in law Timothy Brewer. She leaves behind 13 grandchildren and 18 great- grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and pride.

A high school and cosmetology graduate, Carla worked in customer service and retail, where her warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on those she met. She was known for her love of family gatherings, her loyal dog Katy, and her gift for storytelling. Family and friends will fondly remember her arriving at every gathering with her own unsweetened tea and a tub of homemade potato salad. She found great happiness in watching her great- grandchildren play outside and in sharing simple moments with loved ones.

Carla's life will be celebrated at a memorial service on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Regency Funeral Home in Malvern, Arkansas. She has been cremated in accordance with her wishes.

Her family and friends will forever cherish her memory and the love she gave so generously.

How do you say goodbye, Carla (Sis) was a big part of my very young life. Sis was the big sister we depended upon for so much. I thank her for giving up her carefree years as a young woman to be our big sister. My sister Carla was so kind and loving, I was heartbroken when she flew the nest. I know she was super happy, she loved Fred with every ounce of her. I hope their souls meet again soon. Until that time I hope Sis flies like an Eagle
