Lennie Middleton Obituary
He was born on May 6, 1935 to the late Lennie Middleton, Sr. and Susie Mae Seegars Middleton. He is also predeceased by his son, Lennie S. Middleton, III and sisters, Joan Middleton Miller and Betty Sue Middleton Rollins.
Lennie was a beacon of intelligence, faith, and love throughout his life, touching the hearts of all who knew him. Lennie's early years in Jefferson were filled with the joys of small-town life, where he developed a love for the outdoors. After completing his education, he embarked on a career as a professor that allowed him to balance his professional responsibilities with his passion for golf and sailing. Lennie's love for the sea was as profound as his commitment to every endeavor he undertook, and he will be remembered for his grace on the waves as much as for his acumen on the golf course.
In his personal life, Lennie was a devoted husband to his wife of thirty-eight years, Corinne Middleton of Jefferson, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and cherished memories. The mother of his predeceased son Lennie, Carol Proctor of Shelby, N.C. Lennie's home was filled with the warmth of his loving pets, Gretel, Kooka, Magic, Oracle, and Maddy who were a constant source of joy and companionship.
There was a celebration of life graveside service on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 3 p.m. at Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery with Pastor Ben Miller and Dick Rollins officiating.
Inurnment followed in the church cemetery.
The family would like to express sincere appreciation for the love and care given by Gentiva Hospice and a special thank you to Anne Moore, Autumn Hill, Amy Hicks and Norma Jean Coleman.
The family (including pets) respectively request no flowers at this time and requests donations be made to Alzheimer's Research, PO Box 7044, Columbia, SC 29202.
