Obituary

Dr. Jerry A. Lee

January 22, 1941 – November 9, 2024

On Saturday, November 9, 2024, at 6:00 am Dr Jerry A Lee passed away at The Crossing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was 83 years of age. He spent his childhood years in rural Tangipahoa parish on the family farm. He was a 1959 graduate of Amite High school. He received a BS degree from Southeastern Louisiana State University, and a MS and a Phd degrees from LSU. “Doc” had an insatiable quest for knowledge of many subjects. Spiritual matters, the financial markets to mention a few. He was an avid reader with an extensive library of books and magazines on many subjects and always looking forward to the next book arriving in the mail. He was a member of Gamma Sigma Delta and Sigma Xi professional societies having authored and coauthored numerous academic papers. Dr Lee spent a number of years teaching at SLU and doing research at LSU. He was married to Patricia Lautier Lee for 62 years. Survived by brother Michael D Lee (Theresa); brother-in-law, Rick Van Woerkom; nieces and nephews, Danna Bittola (Chris and son Alex) and Kendra Klaar, Andrew and Nicole Van Woerkom. Preceded in death by father Burdette A Lee, mother Mildred M Lee Barclay and sister Linda K Lee Van Woerkom. We would be sorely remiss to not recognize his excellent caregivers, Sandra Settoon, Passion and Adrianna with Pinnacle Hospice for their tireless attention to his needs. Visitation at McKneely Funeral Home, Amite, from 12:00PM until religious services at 2:00PM on Thursday, November 14, 2024 followed by a private burial. Donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or your favorite charity. Arrangements are handled by McKneely Funeral Home, 110 E Factory Street, Amite, La.

Christmas Cards for Inmates

The group of girls participating in American Heritage Girls at church were the first group to turn in stamped Christmas cards this year. Their stack of cards is about three inches high! Good job girls!

What group is going to be next? Will they turn in a stack of about 4″ or more?

The inmates will probably not be home for Christmas, but can hopefully write to some family members with whom they would normally spend part of the holidays.

If you have not already started working on your S.S. lesson, now is the time. If you need to contact someone who has been ill or not in class lately, now is the time.

I’m thankful you are visiting this site today. Hopefully, it gives you “food for thought” when you begin to pray.
