Donna Marie Lee's Obituary
Donna Marie Lee passed away on July 27th, 2017 at the age of 75.
Marie was born on July 25th, 1942 in Las Vegas, Nevada to Earl and Wanda Nay. Marie was the third oldest child in the family. As a child she grew up in Las Vegas. Then she moved to Roswell, Idaho and later lived in Parma, Idaho where she finished growing up on a farm.
She married John H Lee on June 8, 1962 in the Salt Lake Temple where they were sealed for time and all eternity. They lived in Salt Lake, Palo Alto, California, New York, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and ended up in Eagle Mountain, Utah. They raised 6 children. They were married for 55 years.
Marie was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and daughter. She served with a smile everyday. She was a peacemaker and friend to everyone. Her joy in life was her family. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings in the church including Relief Society President, Young Womens Advisor, Visiting Teacher and Primary Teacher. Mom enjoyed her 27 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and every chance she had to spend time with them was a treasure to her.
She is the most amazing Mom! Her life was full of service to others. She was selfless, so very patient and kind hearted. She put everyone else before her everyday. She loved unconditionally. She was always there for anyone in need. She was just like the Savior. She was so talented and smart and so much fun to be with! She loved life and the people in her life even more. I can't say enough about her goodness. She was always positive and took on life's challenges that way. I never doubted that my mother knew that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. Her faith and her trust in the Lord and her testimony have always been an anchor in our lives. We know that she is with her parents and other family members now. We know that she will always be our Mom. We are so grateful for the honor of having such a beautiful, incredible Mother who has been the most amazing example to us. Her imprint in the lives of her family will be there forever and bless her posterity for generations.
Marie is survived by her husband John H Lee and her children Stephen John Lee, Amy Louise Ricks, Karen Diane Rowley, Douglas Earl Lee, Jennette Marie Washburn and Katherine Anne Lee and her beautiful 27 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Friday, August 4th, 11:00 am at the Kennekuk Ward, 8273 Simpson Springs Road, Eagle Mountain. A viewing will be held from 9:45 - 10:45 am prior to services.
