Carol Lee Beck

Carol Lee (Pridgen) Beck, 87, of Summerville, wife of Norman Beck passed away on Thursday, April 20, 2023 in Summerville. Carol was born October 19, 1935 in Whiteville, NC. She worked 23 years as a manager for the Avon Cosmetics Company. Carol loved playing and excelling at basketball, tennis, softball, and bowling. She lovingly challenged her 3 children, 9 grandchildren, and 7 great grands to any board or card game, and Carol won most of the time! She loved people and made wonderful friends wherever the Air Force took she and Norman. Through her love for the Lord, love for Norman, love for family, and love for friends, Carol has touched many lives. She helped make this world a better place to be. As a young gal, Carol embraced Jesus Christ as her Savior and Lord. Over her lifetime, she expressed her great faith through church ministries that included teaching youth, Acteens, Training Union, and 1st grade Sunday School for 30 years. She supported Norman as a deacon’s wife and loved singing in her church choir. For 50 years as a member of Summerville Baptist Church, Carol wholeheartedly and humbly devoted her time and worship. Our Carol is so very loved and will be missed by so many. Thank you for the memories to cherish! Carol was preceded in death by father, Howard Pridgen, mother, Opal Collier, and sister, Sandra Weavil. Carol is survived by her loving spouse of almost 67 years, Norman. Also, her daughters Cyndy Lehmann (Ben) and Happy Nisson (Bill), her son, Tracy Beck (Robin) and her brother, John Collier.
