While in high school, she met the love of her life, Mack Ezell, the son of a Professor at Stetson University. On November 19, 1934 they eloped to Bunnell and married while she was a senior in high school. They went back to their respective homes to live, keeping their secret until after her graduation. They moved into Mack's parents' attic, their 'nutshell'. Daughter Martha Lee was born in 1936 and Mack 'Buddy', Jr. followed in 1942. After Mack returned from WWII, the family moved to Jacksonville, spending 35 years in her beloved home on Birkenhead Road. They joined Lakeshore Baptist Church in 1946, making Polly their most tenured member. Tragedy struck in 1953, when they lost Buddy to polio. On April 1, 1955, Kenneth Cantrill Ezell, was born. Polly enjoyed serving on the PTA while Kenny was a student at Bayview Elementary. She was a devoted fan of golf and enjoyed rooting for her husband, son, grand and great-grand sons, and favorite professionals. Polly, aka 'Nana', found her own hidden talent as an oil painter at age 50 after Mack gave her painting lessons for Christmas. For more than forty years she painted gorgeous still lifes, landscapes and seascapes. Many commissioned her work for offices and homes. For over 20 years she painted with a group of dear friends that called themselves 'Circle Square'. Polly lost Mack in 1980, but she remained the glue of the family for 33 more years, always with a bright smile and positive attitude. There was always something simmering on her stove, ready to share with family and friends. Much great wisdom and endless love was dispensed around her kitchen table. In addition to her parents, husband and son, Polly is predeceased by her brother, Bob, sisters Katherine (her twin), Dixie, Irene and Martha. She is survived by her daughter, Martha Lee Phillips (William T, Sr.) and son, Kenneth Cantrill Ezell (Marilee); grandchildren, William T.
