Carrie Lee Holton (née Tuller), 52, of Bradenton, Florida, passed away on April 29, 2026. Born on July 12, 1973, in Lakewood, New Jersey, Carrie lived a life of love, faith, and devotion to her family and friends.
Carrie is survived by her husband, Jeff, with whom she shared 27 years of marriage and more than 35 years of friendship built on love and partnership. She was the proud and devoted mother of four children: Micaiah, Gabe, Simon-Charles, and Berea. Her family was her greatest joy, and she dedicated herself completely to encouraging and supporting them in every area of life.
Carrie was predeceased by her mother, Jody (Nelson) Tuller, her grandmother, Donna Nelson, and her grandfather, Charles Nelson.
A woman of faith, Carrie loved Jesus and served God faithfully and with humility throughout her life. Her faith guided her actions and inspired those around her. She showed kindness to everyone and lived as a testament to her beliefs.
She treasured her friendships and cherished every moment spent with those she loved. She found peace at the beach, happiness in collecting seashells along the shore, and loved watching sunsets. Family vacations and shared adventures created treasured memories that she held close.
Those who knew Carrie will remember her as a loving mother who always put her children first, a loving and patient wife, a fiercely loyal friend, and a compassionate teacher who impacted countless lives. Teaching was more than a career for Carrie; it was a calling. She passionately loved and advocated for her students. Her students brought her immense joy, and she approached her work as an educator with passion, integrity, and dedication.
A Celebration of Life will be held on May 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM at West Bradenton Baptist Church, located at 1305 43rd St W., Bradenton, FL. Carrie will be greatly missed by all who loved her. She left this earth too soon, but our memories of her will live with us forever.
