Obituary.....
Arden Trowbridge Lee, age 102, of Anderson, SC, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at her home.
Born on February 7, 1920, she was the fourth child of Ardie Patrick and James Preston Trowbridge. She lived in Anderson for all of her 102 years.
She had five children - Joseph Richardson of High Point, NC, Linda Lee Senn of Anderson, John Charles Lee (Sheron) of Anderson, James Baxter Lee (Nancy) of Charlotte, Arden Lee Travers (Bob) of Towson, Maryland. She had twelve grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren, all who lovingly called her "Mimi."
Arden met her first husband Joseph H. Richardson when he was at Clemson. They were married in 1942. They lived in several Air Force bases while he trained to be a pilot. Tragically he was killed in action and never met their son Joe. John B. Lee also a Clemson cadet and Arden were married in 1947 and had four children. John B. passed away in 1982. J. Roy Pennell another Clemson cadet and she were married in 1988 until his death in 2008.
Arden attended Winthrop College and worked at Cochran Jewelers. During the war she was Secretary at First Presbyterian Church where she was a lifetime member and active in church circle. She was a founding member of The Revelers Club and a member of Our Garden Club and Anderson County Women's Club. Gardening and home decorating were her passions and she was excellent at both - she was known to move furniture by herself until just a few weeks ago.
She was a fabulous dancer and a very popular partner at Boscobel Dances in the 40's. She loved watching reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show. She traveled the world but was happiest spending time with her family at Pawley's Island, Litchfield Beach and Cashiers, NC.
The family would like to thank Caroline Foster for her loving care and service to Arden.
A Memorial Service will be held at 2 pm Sunday, November 6, 2022, at First Presbyterian Church officiated by Dr. Dennis Tedder. The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the church Welcome Center. A private family committal service will be held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Mausoleum.
Flowers or memorials may be sent to First Presbyterian Church, 302 W. Whitner Street, Anderson SC 29624.
