Carolyn Manee
Carolyn Manee, beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away peacefully from Alzheimer’s on Mar. 14, 2024. Born in Plant City, Fla., on Jan. 13, 1938, to Clifford and Ethel Hardee. Carolyn had a zest for life that was evident in everything she did.
After graduating from Plant City High School in 1956, Carolyn pursued higher education at the University of Florida, later graduating with a degree in business education from the University of South Florida. Carolyn taught Business Education at Brandon and Plant City High Schools for 10 years.
Carolyn‘s career was a testament to her dedication and expertise. After teaching, she became a successful Realtor, Broker, GRI, and eventually acquired Dave McCarthy Realty. Her knowledge and passion for the industry made her a trusted and respected figure in the community.
Carolyn was also a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Plant City. Her faith played a significant role throughout her life.
Carolyn had a deep love for golf and was a founding member of Walden Lake County Club. She held the record for the most hole-in-ones in one summer at Sapphire National Golf Course in North Carolina, where she and her husband Bobby spent many of their summers. Carolyn and Bobby shared a passion for golf, and their unwavering dedication to the game led them to achieve history as the only husband and wife to ever win the Men’s and Women’s Sapphire National Club Championship in the same year.
International traveling was another one of Carolyn’s great passions. She loved exploring new places and creating lasting memories with her friends and loved ones. Carolyn’s adventurous spirit and positive attitude were contagious, and she always found a way to make the most out of every moment. Carolyn is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Robert Manee, who stood by her side through thick and thin. She is preceded in death by her daughter, Katherine Manee Sparkman and her sister Dorthy “Dot” Harkala. She leaves behind her two sons, Scott McElveen (Kim) and Philip McElveen (Vicki), her daughter Martha Manee Harrison (Ricky), 8 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren.
Carolyn Manee will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her vibrant spirit, unwavering optimism, and genuine love for life will forever be remembered. May she rest in eternal peace.
The family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation for the love, support, and exceptional care provided by Jules Burt during Carolyn’s final years. Jules’ dedication and compassion made a significant difference in Carolyn’s life. We are also grateful for the care provided by the staff at The Canopy. Their kindness and support during this difficult time will always be remembered.
The family is having a private service at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 302 Carey St, Plant City, FL.
