Carole Lee Edington

Carole Lee Edington, 85, of Hamilton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 5, 2024. Born on January 2, 1939 in Shelbyville, Kentucky and spent her childhood on a dairy farm in Bagdad, Kentucky. She was the daughter of the late Selbert “Buck” Lee and Eula Mae Edington (née Bryant).

Carole’s life was marked by her passion for music and education.
