On March 30, 2025, Dorothy Maxine Lee went to her heavenly home at the wonderful age of 92. Maxine was born on April 21, 1932. Maxine was married to Hays Lee who went to be with the Lord on January 4, 2018. Maxine and Hays had 1 son, Olin Lee, who passed away on March 31, 2020. Maxine is now reunited with her beloved family. Maxine Lee, better known to her grandchildren as Gram and to her great grandchildren as Gram Gram , loved her family very much.

Maxine is survived by 1 sister Patsy Gray; 1 daughter-in-law, Janice Lee; 2 grandsons, Bo Lee (Kim), and Mac Lee (Gabby); 3 great grandsons, Noah, London, and Theo Lee.

Maxine enjoyed supporting her grandsons in all their activities. She was immensely proud of their accomplishments.
