Interment will be at Providence Memorial Cemetery, Winnsboro, LA, under the direction of Dennard First National Funeral Home.
Our Mother was preceded in death by her parents; husband, James Lee; infant son, Edmond Neil Lee; daughter-in-love, Sandy Lee; sister: Marisce Smith; and brothers-in-love: Doc Smith; Larry Thompson and Eldon Armstrong.
Left behind to cherish a lifetime of beloved memories are her children: daughters, Pam Paola and husband George, Winnsboro; Darlene Aycock and husband David, Laramie, WY; Penny Smith and husband Richard, Columbia; sons, Jimmy Lee, Winnsboro; Kevin Lee and wife, Nanette, Winnsboro; Chad Lee and wife, Gail, Wisner; and her 25 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandchild.
Pallbearers will be Eric Kinison, Benjamin Lee, Vi-Jay Murugeson, George Paola III, Nicholas Paola, Andrew Smith, Joshua Smith, Lonnie Temple and Jordi White.
Our Mom was a long-time member of Apostolic Faith Chapel, Gilbert, LA, and she dearly loved her church family. When asked as to what her occupation was we came up with this: beloved wife and mother; prayer warrior; housekeeper; nurse; chauffeur; mechanic's assistant; secretary and accountant; parts-runner; coffee maker; chef extraordinaire (Dad said "she can make anything in the world edible but a water turkey.."); and family historian. Some of the things she loved to do were: going to church; singing and listening to music, especially blue grass and gospel; reading (favorites: Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey westerns); sewing; hunting and camping; bird watching; traveling anywhere on 'adventures' with Daddy; searching for arrowheads and pottery; cooking; visiting with family and friends; back porch rocking with Dad while sipping coffee and feeding the squirrels who would come up and take peanuts out of their hands.
As one of our cousins said of her, our Momma 'led a quiet life, in the background of her family, but she was a solid presence of support and love to anyone who crossed her path.' She was so right. Our Momma totally was the 'glue' that held our family together…. the 'hub' around which we thrived because of her quiet strength and beautiful heart full of love.
Our comfort is in knowing that she is in the arms of Jesus now. No more struggling and no more pain. We love you Momma! You will be SO missed.
