Carroll Lee (Doodle) May, 79, of Monticello, KY, and husband of Bonnie May, passed away on November 26, 2025, at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.

Born in Greenville, SC, on July 9, 1946, he was the son of the late Clarence Lane May and Mary Frances Parks May.  Doodle was passionate about serving as a Mason and a Hejaz Shriner in his younger years, and he was an avid golfer.  He had a love for music from an early age.  His musical talents with playing the guitar and singing were later used as a ministry in his church, Lockett's Chapel Methodist Church, where he was an active member until his health began to decline.

In addition to his wife of 39 years, Doodle is survived by four daughters, Sissy (Jay) Meadows of Laurens, SC, Wendy Slaven of Jamestown, TN, Tonya Dickson of Fountain Inn, SC, and Sonya Beard of Spring Hill, Fl., and one son, Robbie (Jackie) May of Troutman, NC; grandchildren Brandon (Madison) Griffin, Nikki Harvey, Haley (Joey) Crescimanno, Hannah (Chase) Mitchell, Cody and Zack May, eight great-grandchildren, his fur-baby, Jasper, two sisters, Ann Jamros and Betty Jo Weaghington, and special sister-in-law, Mary May.

In addition to his parents, Doodle was predeceased by a son, William Carroll (Billy) May, a granddaughter, Kristen Renee May, and two brothers, Randy and Wayne May of SC.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Lockett's Chapel Methodist Church on November 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., conducted by Brother Gary Clark.

The family will be at the home.
