Carol Dee grew up on Belleville Lake and graduated from Belleville High School in 1955. She met Robert in a dance hall and it took eight months before she would dance with him. They married in December 1956. From this union came two sons and one daughter – James, Kurt, and Erika. Her years were spent running kids from sporting event to sporting event. In 1981 the family moved to Texas. She was involved in many various clubs and activities including Longview Women’s Forum, Newcomers Club, Book Club, Chamber of Commerce, Longview Art Museum, and Daughter’s of the King, just to name a few. In 1999 she graduated from Kilgore College with a PTA degree and spent many enjoyable days working in various nursing homes around town. After her retirement, her passion was Christ. She spent many hours volunteering at church, on the Vestry Board, House of Disciples, and Daughter’s of the King conferences. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, traveling abroad and to see her granddaughters. She also spent her time, money, and energy on the Republican Party, being heavily involved in politics. She was a friend to all and knew no strangers.
