Obituary

Dora Lee McRae, age 82, passed from this life Tuesday, March 18, 2025. She was born August 8, 1942 in Smackover, AR to the late Auvle and Clyde Lee Solley.

Dora Lee never worked outside the home, but those who knew her could testify to her big heart. She was known for taking in the less fortunate and caring for those others had given up on. Her grandson recalled her green thumb and her passion for flowers and plants. In her spare time, she enjoyed watching Matlock, Perry Mason, and even sport and races on television. Her daughter described her as the glue that held the family together, and she will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband of forty-five years Ottis McRae; two brothers Mike Solley and Bill Solley; one son Greg McRae; one granddaughter Megan Fitzgerald; one great-granddaughter Heaven Fitzgerald.

Those left to cherish her memory included: three sons Ottis Daniel McRae, Mike McRae, Beau McRae; one daughter Leah Thurlkill (Todd); eight grandchildren Danica Blackwood (Jimmy), Clyde McRae, Michael McRae, T.J. Thurlkill (Leslie), Mandy Mays (Gene), Sam Thurlkill (Morgan), Jessica McRae, and Sherry Rodgers; twenty great-grandchildren; two sisters Phyllis Wilkins and Eva Lane; as well as a host of extended family and friends.

The family invites the community to a time of visitation from 6-8:00 PM Thursday evening, March 20, 2025 at Perry's Funeral Chapel in El Dorado, AR. A private interment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in her honor to Wings of Love in care of Rex McDaniel, 2543 Ouachita 67 Louann, AR 71751.
