Carolyn Sue (Parish) Lee

With hearts full of both grief and gratitude, we announce the passing of our beloved Carolyn Sue (Parish) Lee of Bee Branch, Arkansas, who went to be with the Lord on June 8, 2026, at the age of 78.

Born on June 4, 1948, in Morganton, Arkansas, Carolyn was full of life, love, and laughter. She devoted her life to her family, creating a warm and welcoming home that served as a cherished gathering place for those she loved.

Carolyn never met a stranger. She built a successful career in fire equipment sales, becoming the company's top national salesperson and dealer. As a trailblazer for women in a male-dominated industry, she earned the respect and admiration of colleagues and customers alike.

Whether she was singing gospel hymns, watching hummingbirds while enjoying the view of the family farm, traveling with her loved ones, or cheering from the stands at her grandkids' baseball and softball games, Carolyn poured love into everything she did.

She taught us the value of loving with all our hearts, working hard, showing kindness, and remaining resilient through life's challenges. She leaves behind a legacy of love and will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know her.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her beloved son, Kevin Joseph Lee; her parents, Doris Mae Parish and Jesse Doyne Parish; her brother, Kenneth Parish; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Don and Erma Lee; and her nieces, Jan and Angie Pennington.

She is survived by her husband, Kenny Lee; her daughter, Alaina Lee; her son, Robert (Victoria) Lee; her grandchildren, Carson and Saylor Lee; her sister, Linda (Quinton) Pennington; her brother, Jerry Parish; and many beloved members of her extended family.

Pall Bearers are Greg Pennington, Jeff Pennington, Jamie Pennington, Hunter Pennington, Luke Pennington, Will Pennington, Greg Holland, Beau Pennington.

Honorary Pall Bearers are Jeff Holland and Jared Ragland.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hardin Cemetery.

A graveside service will be held on Thursday morning, June 11th at 9:00am at Hardin Cemetery in Bee Branch, Arkansas. Family and friends are invited to attend.
