Judith Materna Lee was born February 18, 1939 in Pontiac Michigan.

She worked as a registered nurse giving life and hope in the trauma center at several hospitals around the United States.  She met her soulmate, Carlton David Lee and they were married in Horsecave, Kentucky in 1967.  As a military family, they spent years traveling around the United States to serve at various military bases.  Her favorite stop was on the island of Oahu where she learned to scuba dive. 

Judith was a master gardener who spent countless hours creating the perfect outdoor scene.  She loved watching her grandchildren play in the pool and made sure there were always plenty of snacks on hand after a long swim.  Every day after school she was the first to greet the grandchildren as they were dropped off by the bus.  The trips to the mall with her granddaughters were memories they will never forget.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Carlton David Lee, son Robert, daughter Susan and her parents. She is survived by her sons Alan and Steve, and grandchildren Madison, Morgan and Easton. 

A graveside service will be held Friday July 13th, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Sunset Gardens in Richland, WA.
