Lora Lee Haun, 94, was born March 23, 1932, in Hendersonville, North Carolina, and died August 12, 2026. A resident of Knoxville, Tennessee, Lora Lee will be remembered with deep affection as a beloved presence in the lives of those who knew her—marked by compassion, steady devotion, and a faithful spirit that quietly strengthened her family and community.
Lora Lee was a devoted wife and mother, and her care for others was expressed in the everyday ways that matter most—through consistency, kindness, and a heart attentive to the needs of those around her. Her love of reading and travel reflected a thoughtful curiosity and an appreciation for the wider world, enjoyed with the same grace and sincerity that shaped her life.
Her faith was an enduring foundation. Lora Lee was a member of Sand Branch Global Methodist Church, where her faithful commitment and gentle compassion were evident to friends and fellow members alike.
