    • Biography, copied from the FindAGrave memorial page created by Carolyn Andrews:

      Eugene was the son of James Perry McLemore and Thurzer (Barker) McLemore. He enlisted in the Army during WWII and was in the Corp of Engineers, 163rd Combat Engineer Battalion. He married Mary Edna Harrison and they had one daughter who died at the age of 5 months and 19 days. Eugene was overseas and never got to see his daughter.

      After his first wife died in 1973, he married Mary McAlexander McLemore in 1975. Mary McAlexander had 3 children with her first husband, Alvis Neil McLemore; Cathy McLemore, Larry Neil (Frances) McLemore, and Beth (Tom) Stultz and Eugene loved them dearly.

      Eugene was a great family man and helped raise many of his nieces and nephews. He was especially fond of his grand nephews John (Mary Ann) Andrews, Corey (Maureen) Andrews and Troy (Kathy) Andrews. He will be greatly missed in our family. We loved him dearly.
