Patricia Lee
October 18, 1948 — June 21, 2025
Patricia Lee, 76, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2025.
Patricia was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose love for her family was the center of her life. She is survived by her daughters, Rebecca (Joe) Stewart and Tonya (Joe) Battin; her beloved grandchildren, Shianne Stewart, Max Sullivan, Heather (Rick) Carolus, Jason (Samantha) Battin, and Nicole (Josh) Tully; and seven great-grandchildren, with one more on the way.
She is also survived by her stepchildren: Ron Lee, Robert Lee Jr., Barb (Terry) Gray, John (Willa) Lee, Travis (Jen) Howe, Lisa Howe, Teresa (Marty) Bailey, Donnie Trisler, Jr, and Jimmy (Marcia) Trisler.
Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, Robert E. Lee Sr.; four children; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; her siblings: Eddie, Jerry, Frank, Chuck, Pearl, Walt, Leroy, Leonard, and Bernice; and her stepsons, Dan Lee and Paul Trisler.
Patricia loved her family deeply and lived a life centered on connection, kindness, and support. She enjoyed playing cards, dice, and rummy, and loved spending time at Prairie Meadows Casino. She had a deep passion for shopping and was incredibly close to her granddaughter, Shianne Stewart (Cheyenne), whom she lovingly referred to as “her baby.”
She wasn’t just a mom to her children—she was a mom to everyone. During Rebecca’s recovery journey, Patricia regularly attended support meetings, proudly telling others she was there not just for her daughter, but for everyone in the room. Her heart and support knew no limits.
If she had it and you needed it, Patricia would give it to you without hesitation. She also held a deep love for her nieces, nephews, and extended family. She was known for her steady reassurance, often saying, “Don’t worry, everything will work out.”
A celebration of Patricia’s life will be held at a later date.
Her memory will live on through the countless lives she touched with her compassion, generosity, and unwavering love.
