Harold Edward Lee

Harold Edward Lee
of Des Moines, Iowa

Harold Lee, age 89, passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, December 15, 2022. He was born the son of Samuel and Judea Lee on June 7, 1933 in Perry, Iowa.

Harold proudly served his country in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. He worked for Des Moines Barrel & Drum Co. and later did custodial work at Vets Auditorium. In his free time, he enjoyed playing cards, Dominos, watching western shows, and fishing. Above all, he loved spending time with his family and make those around him laugh whenever he had the opportunity. Harold was known for always having a good time and that was his greatest attribute. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter Dlorah Lee, son Edward Lee, grandchildren Carver Lee-Wallace, Treiton Lee, Navin Lee, Slater Lee, and Natasha Lee, nieces who cared closely for him Youlanda (Martell Bolden) Scott-Bolden, Johnetta Levell, and Mary (Anthony) Wells, great-niece Latoya Brown, and a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members.

Harold was preceded in death by his parents Samuel and Judea Lee, wife Lacresa Lee, sisters Melrose Scott, Frances Brown, and Patricia Lee, and brothers William (Brother) Gaines, Russell Lee, Samuel Lee, Elgin Johnson, and James Lee.

Visitation will be held at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, December 22, 2022, with funeral service following at 11:00 a.m., at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines.

Our family would like to thank our relatives and friends for your presence, support and prayers during this sad time. Your kindness has been appreciated and we take comfort in the thought that he would have enjoyed the final step of his journey celebrated with love, tears, memories and laughter.
