Our beloved father, grandfather, uncle, and friend passed away peacefully on December 26, 2023 at the age 102. Lee was born on October 5, 1921 in Ephraim, UT to Reuel Erastus and Caroline Devota (Allred) Anderson.

Lee and Norma raised three sons in the Salt Lake City area and later moved to Lehi. Both Lee and Norma were active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served as a High Priest. Lee worked in the kitchen cabinet business for over 60 years, retiring at 89 years old. He enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing, baseball, basketball, playing cards (bridge), and many family activities.
