Mary Nell Lee

Mary Lee, age 95, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, elegance, and Southern grace. A true Southern woman, Mary Lee was never seen without her hair fixed and her lipstick on—always polished, always proud. She carried herself with poise and warmth, making everyone around her feel seen and special.

She worked for many years at Lockheed Martin, where she brought the same dedication and strength that she carried through all aspects of her life. She was also a beloved pageant judge, known for her sharp eye, kind heart, and timeless style.

Mary Lee is survived by her daughter, Terri, as well as eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter Harriett, whose memory she held close to her heart.

To know Mary Lee was to love her. Her presence was magnetic, her spirit unshakable, and her legacy unforgettable. And while she led with kindness and grace, she also had a firm streak—once her mind was made up, even gravity had a hard time convincing her otherwise.

She will be deeply missed, but the love she gave and the life she lived will continue to shine through her family and all who knew her.

Services will be set at a later date.
