Obituary of John Carlos Kee
John Carlos “J.C” Kee, 83, passed away quietly in the night on Friday, 12:59am on December 1, 2017. His life with Eunice Pauline Isbell, his wife, and girlfriend since 1952, now continues down a different path. A long time rancher and farmer of his beloved northeast Cherokee County.
