NASHVILLE - Mack Lee English, age 86, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, November 24, 2021. Born in Nash County, NC on August 9, 1935, he was the son of the late Perry Davis "P.D." English and Nellie Mae Cooper English. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Joanne Arrington English; his sisters, Frances English Kennedy and Lib English Gurganus; and his brother, Harvey Davis English.
Mack enjoyed working with his hands and was a self-made craftsman and fixer of all things broken. Blessed with the gift of woodworking, there wasn't a piece of furniture or anything made from wood that he could not build, replicate, or fix. Known for his quick wit and humor, Mack could always bring laughter to all those around him through his jokes and tall stories. He was a longtime member of Shenandoah Baptist Church. Mack was a devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and dear friend to many.
Mack is survived by his sons, David Lee English and wife, Joyce, Gregory Mack English and wife, Yvonne, and Dean Carter English; seven grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; his sisters, Joyce English Weeks and her husband, William, and Margaret English May and her husband, Kenneth; as well as many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to say a special thanks to Mack's friend and neighbor, Joan Miller, for her support and friendship she shared in recent years.
