Carole Bishop Lee, a resident of Dothan, AL, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, surrounded by her children and three dogs.
Carole was born in Atlanta, GA, on April 3, 1940, to the late Eustace E. Bishop, Sr. and Mary Alice Newton Bishop. A 1958 graduate of Dothan High School, she married William M. Lee on September 28, 1962. Bill and Carole raised their family in Dothan and were married for 58 years until his death in December 2020.
Carole was a devoted mother, gifted artist, passionate community servant, and beloved friend, whose life was defined by creativity, generosity, and connection. A lifelong dog lover and tireless advocate for others, Carole was also the proud mother of five children and the heart of her family. She poured her energy not only into her home but also into the broader Dothan, AL community, where her leadership and service left a lasting impact. Through the years, she was deeply involved with many community organizations including Landmark Park, Wiregrass Pets Rescue & Adoption, SEACT, The National Peanut Festival, Houston Love Memorial Library, the Dothan Opera House Board, Time Youth, and the Girl Scouts, always offering her time, vision, opinion, and encouragement wherever it was needed.
Carole was a loyal member of The United Methodist Church, where her faith and creativity intertwined. As a local church member, Carole served on a variety of committees, sang in the church choir, organized Faithful Fingers sewing and knitting group, and was a consistent supporter of Blue Lake Camp. As a liturgical worship artist, she designed and crafted banners for all seasons of the church year and was a leader in The Fellowship, especially Lake Junaluska Music Week. Her faith was lived actively—through service, art, and fellowship.
A true creative genius, Carole found joy in quilting, sewing, knitting, scrapbooking, gardening, and cooking. An avid reader, she was a faithful member of a book group for many years. She was especially known for her love of hosting gatherings with beautiful tablescapes and welcoming friends and family with warmth and laughter. One of her most treasured traditions was baking pound cakes using her grandmother’s recipe, which she delighted in giving away as a gesture of love. Carole had a remarkable gift for bringing people together. A natural connector, she built friendships across generations and diverse communities and made everyone feel seen and valued. A world traveler, she embraced new places and experiences with curiosity and enthusiasm.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William M. Lee, and her son, Stan R. “Chip” Beason.
Carole is survived by her four children; Juli-Ann Lee Morgan (Brian), Jeni Lee (Joe Boshears), Tom Lee (Katherine), Jon Lee (Jennie), ten grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; her brother and sister, Eustace E. “Top” Bishop, Jr., (Sandra) and Julie Bishop, and her three beloved dogs.
Carole’s family thanks Dr. Juanita Heersink & staff, Home Helpers, First Light Home Care, and DaySpring Hospice for their care and compassion with special thanks to Charity Lent, her angel next door.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Wiregrass Pet Rescue & Adoption, www.wiregrasspetrescue.org or Time Youth, www.timeyouthdothan.org – two organizations that reflect her lifelong commitment to compassion, community, and care for others.

Annie “Louise” Scroggins passed away on January 29, 2026, in Dothan, Alabama, following a life centered on family, friendship, and simple joys. She was born on April 9, 1941, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and was known to all who knew her as a woman whose kindness and warmth left a lasting impression.
Louise made Dothan her home in 1972 and quickly became an active and valued part of the community. A devoted homemaker, she poured her heart into caring for her family and creating a warm, welcoming home. While her primary focus was always her family, she also maintained strong connections throughout the community and formed meaningful friendships that she treasured throughout her life.
She found joy in life’s everyday pleasures, especially watching Braves baseball, working crossword puzzles, journaling, and gathering with family during the holidays. These moments, often simple but deeply meaningful, were where Louise felt most at home, surrounded by those she loved.
Above all else, Louise cherished her role as a mother. She is survived by her loving children, Kathy Randall (Charlie) and Annette Hammack (Mike). She is also survived by her daughter, Vanessa Scroggins. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her grandchildren, Nathan Kennedy (Amy), Chad Hammack (Lindsey), Caitlyn Randall, Chase Randall, Rachel Kieger (James), and Chris Cook (Breanna), along with eight great-grandchildren who brought her immense joy and pride.
She is also survived by her brother-in-law, Roy Scroggins (Vicki), her sister-in-law, Jean Corbitt, and many nieces and nephews who will remember her gentle spirit and caring heart.
Louise was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George Scroggins; her parents, Sidney and Birdie Williams; and her sister, Minnie Price.
Those who knew Louise will remember her as a woman of quiet strength, steady kindness, and genuine compassion. She moved through life with grace and a welcoming smile, offering comfort and encouragement to those around her. While she will be deeply missed, her influence lives on through the love she gave and the values she passed down to her family.
A celebration of Louise’s life will be held Monday, February 2, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. in the Sunset Funeral Home Chapel, with Bro. Mike Griggs officiating. She will be laid to rest in Gardens of Memory Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
