Lanett Lee

Myric “Lanett” Harper Lee, age 96, of Carrollton, Georgia, passed away on Monday, October 27, 2025. She was born on June 30, 1929, in Carroll County, Georgia, the daughter of the late Raymond Wilson Harper and Cleon Evans Harper.

Lanett was a caring mother, proud grandmother, and loyal friend. She truly enjoyed life’s simple pleasures—spending time with her children and grandchildren, caring for her flowers, or watching the birds from her porch. As one of the original employees of West Georgia National Bank, she was dedicated and hardworking, always giving her best. She also found joy and belonging in her faith as a faithful member of Beulah Baptist Church, where she felt truly fulfilled and loved.

In addition to her parents, Lanett was welcomed into heaven by her husband, Charles Milton Lee, and her brother, Dovard Harper.

Lanett leaves behind her daughter and son-in-law, Karen & Tony Muth; son and daughter-in-law, Alan & Elaine Lee; she will be especially missed by her beloved grandchildren, Blaine Self & Rebekah Hale, Laura Self & Andrew Smith, Mandy & Scott Brown, Jerome & Leslie Wheeler; and great -grandchildren, Kennedy Smith, Sam Wheeler, and Lane Wheeler, each one the light of her life.

The family will receive friends at Martin & Hightower Funeral Home on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

A funeral service to honor and celebrate Mrs. Lanett’s life will be held on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Martin & Hightower Funeral Home with Pastor Jimmy Bryan officiating.
