Carol Lee Myrick

Our beloved mother, Carol Lee Myrick, was called home to Heaven on May 4, 2025. Her presence was a comforting constant, and her gentle spirit left a lasting mark on everyone blessed to know her. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, on June 24, 1950, Lee was preceded in death by her parents, Frank Lamar Moffatt Jr. and Vivian Moffatt Easters ("Granny Bill"); her stepfather, Earnest Easters; and two nephews Steven Daryl Sutton and Daniel Eugene Price. Lee was the devoted mother of two sons who were her pride and joy: Scott Russell Myrick (Shauna) and Ronnie Joseph Myrick (Alexis). She was their lighthouse- steady and unwavering- a quiet beacon guiding them through storms and calm alike. Her love for them was constant- patient, encouraging, and grounded in quiet belief. Even now, though the waters feel rough without her, she wouldnt want her boys to get bogged down. Instead, she would remind them to lean on each other, and to remember they can always find thier way back home- back to her love, her voice, her lessons, and the steady light she left behind, guiding as always. She is survived by her three treasured sisters, all from Birmingham: Lyn Mardant (Ed), Donna Brooks (Dennis), and Diane Price (Buddy). Together, they were lifelong companions whose bond was forged over years of leaning on each other and sharing decades of laughter, memories, and inside jokes. Alongside their dependable husbands, they formed a circle of support and enduring love and understanding. The bond they shared was strong- each one a link in a living chain, each one forged through time, trust, and tenderness. That bond remains unbroken and will continue to hold them close. They can find comfort in knowing Lee is finally at peace- free, whole, and surrounded by God's grace. She was also the dear and loving grandmother to seven grandchildren, and had many cherished nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews, and friends from all ages and walks of life. Lee was known for her sly grins, funny food quirks, and that one glance that said more than words could. She could spark laughter with just a look, or break into a silly dance when you least expected it, and though she's not here for the punchline, the memory of her timing, mischief, and constant movie quotes still brings smiles. Lee carried a strong work ethic throughout her life- precise, dependable, and every bit the professional woman. She had a sharp mind for Scrabble skills and loved Alabama football- always ready with a cheerful "Roll Tide!" Whether she was enjoying music, spending a quiet day journaling, or just being nearby, her presence was a comfort. Lee's gentle spirit will be missed, but the grace she lived with continues to guide those who loved her. She never judged- only listened, embraced, and loved with quiet faith. Her life reflected the beauty of Gods's plan: to be kind, to bring joy, and to love without condition. And as she would want, we'll keep showing up for one another, making each other laugh, and holding on tight to the moments that matter. Though we grieve, we take comfort knowing she is in God's care now, free and at peace. And when the day comes to see her agian, we'll know she's near by her warmth and the whisper of her favorite words: "Hello, gorgeous" We will gather for a memorial service to honor her life on June 1st, 2025 at 1:00pm at Twenty-Fifth Avenue Baptist Church.
