Harry L. Carr, son of the late Eddie and Annie Belle Carr, was born on July 24, 1933 in Mullins, South Carolina. He departed this life on March 21, 2016, at home after a lengthy illness. He received his education at Palmetto High School. He then attended Friendship College before joining the Armed Forces. Harry served three years in the United States Army. He served in the 82nd airborne division, and was in the inauguration of President Eisenhower held on January 20, 1953. He was a part of the Korean War. He started his work career at U.S. Public Health Hospital. He then became employed at the National Institute of Health at City Hospital, which is now known as Johns Hopkins Bayview. He worked there as an Administrator, and a Research Developer. He was employed there for 40 years before he retired. He attended Ebenezer A.M.E Church early in his life, and later started attending Gillis Memorial Baptist Church. He married Nannie B. Miller in 1952 and from that union, two children, Clayton D. Carr and Nannette R. Carr were born. While working, he went to further his education at Morgan State University where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. He graduated at the age of forty-five in 1978. Oddly, he and his daughter, Nannette graduated from college the same day, just from different schools. Harry made friends easily, and was a happy family man. He loved GOD, and would read the 23rd Psalm every night before going to bed. He loved his family and always wanted them to be happy. He also believed in education. He leaves to mourn: his wife, Nannie B. Carr; one son, Clayton D. Carr; daughter, Nannette R. Carr; his first cousins, Alfreda B. Shaw, Milton Shaw, and Johnny Lee Shaw; a long-time friend and classmate, William Huggins; four grandchildren; seventeen greatgrandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, Nigel Carr, one of his great-grandchildren was very special to him. He loved him dearly, and assisted his wife in raising him. Harry remained a valued neighbor in his community for fifty-five years. He also leaves a host of family and friends to cherish his memory.
