Carrie’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. She showed her abundant love for them with her unparalleled cooking and baking. Maw Maw’s kitchen was always open. She was a lifelong fan of all sports but had a particular love for the Virginia Tech Hokies. She was extremely proud that all three of her children graduated from Virginia Tech. She never missed a chance to attend a VT game and cheer on her beloved Hokies. Carrie Lee never met a stranger. She sparked conversation everywhere she went. Her love of people is evident in the multitude of close relationships she shared. She touched many lives and will be dearly missed.
