Horace Lee Massey

Horace Lee Massey, 93, was born on June 10, 1929 in Liberty, SC to the late Hubert Lee and Carrie Wilson Massey. He laid down his working tools and passed to the next life on January 19, 2023. He was a 1946 graduate of Parker High School and worked his entire career in the textile industry in Greenville, SC until his retirement in 1994. He was baptized at Buncombe Road Baptist Church where he taught Sunday school and was most recently an active member of Parisview Baptist Church. He was a lifetime member of the Sam Poe Lodge. Horace was most known for his sense of humor, ability to fix most anything, and an amazing steadfastness.

Horace was preceded in death by his parents along with two brothers and six sisters. He is survived by his wife, Sylvene Cooley Massey of Greenville, son Glen (Shaele) of Indianapolis, stepdaughter Cheryl Plumier (Al) of Greenville, and sons from a first marriage, Gary of Brevard, NC, and Dale of Winchester, VA.
