Linda was the beloved wife of nearly 50 years to Mr. Obed Lee. A devoted mother and grandmother, her grandchildren were the absolute joy of her life. Linda’s warm spirit shone through in her many passions, from cheering on the Atlanta Braves and guessing prices on “The Price is Right,” to enjoying the beauty of the outdoors and crafting intricate crocheted pieces. Her infectious zest for life was evident in her impromptu living room dance sessions to “The Twist,” and her cherished mornings spent sharing breakfast with her family.

She was preceded in death by her Husband, Obed Lee; 1 daughter, Renee Lee Sharp (Randy); her Father, Vernon McKee; and her Mother, Ela Burney McKee.

Her memory will forever be cherished by her daughters, Sharen Lee Granger (Todd), Karen Lee Lewis (Ralph); 1 sister, Ruth McKee Crosby; 6 grandchildren, Courtney L. Creel, Rebecca Creel Garza (Oscar), Christy Kennedy Case (Justin), Jennifer Kennedy Barnes (Jacob), Ashley Sharp Prejean (Tony), Cameron Kennedy Gerald (Phillip); sixteen Great Grandchildren; and a host of Nieces and Nephews.

Mrs. Lee was carried to her final rest by those honored to serve as pallbearers; they included Courtney L. Creel, Rebecca Creel Garza, Christy Kennedy Case, Jennifer Kennedy Barnes, Ashley Sharp Prejean, and Cameron Kennedy Gerald. Sharkey Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
