Mary A Floyd's Obituary
Mary Alyce Floyd, 86, of Bradenton, Florida, went to be with the Lord on March 1, 2026. She was born July 2, 1939, in Madison, Florida. A third generation Floridian, she is the daughter of the late Zeb Dee Carter, Sr. and Maggie Lee Carter. She is predeceased by her husband, Harold E. Floyd, her grandson, Alex Michael Floyd, her brothers, Curtis Carter, Russell Carter, James Carter, Johnny Carter, and her sister, Agnes Sansom. She is survived by her sisters, Jimmie Lee Scott of Cape Coral, Bette Carter of Bradenton, Patricia Ramsey of Bradenton and brother, Zeb Carter of Bradenton.

Mary Alyce moved from Madison, Florida to Manatee County in 1947. She grew up in Palmetto/Oneco and was a 1957 graduate of Manatee High School. She was actively involved in youth sports with her sons and daughter (namely baseball and football). Her greatest passion was listening to the love of her life, Harold E. Floyd, play the guitar and sing to her. She enjoyed watching her sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren play baseball/softball and was always seen at the ballpark with a huge smile on her face. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the American Heart Association (https://www.heart.org). A private Celebration of Life will be held at Skyway Memorial where she will be laid to rest alongside Harold.
