Linda Marie (Willett) Lee

Linda Marie (Willett) Lee , 42, of Washington CH passed on Saturday, April 2, 2022, as the result of a traffic accident.

Linda Marie was a life long survivor. Those who knew her described her as determined, strong-willed, caring, independent, motivated, compassionate, but most of all selfless. She was a phenomenal mother with a heart of gold. Linda was an avid supporter of domestic violence awareness, while providing love and support to those who had been impacted. She reminded many of us to “Rock our purple” during the month of October. Linda’s continuous hunger for knowledge allowed her to serve the community in many ways. For those of you who didn’t know, she was even the “Spelling Bee Champ” in Middle School.

Linda was known to be the life of the party. She enjoyed traveling, Sunday dinners, spending time with her fur babies, “Honey and Zaylie,” Starbucks, and attending her children’s activities. She was an Auntie to many and loved by all. She was a loyal friend to her #lifers and a special member of the McGraw family. If she was here today, she would say, “Stay strong and do your best.”

Linda was preceded in death by grandparents, Jacob and Virginia “Jenny” Oliver, mother figure, Phyllis “Jeanie” Prater, Stepfather, Bob Oty, a special friend, Scott Duffy, and a fur baby, Frita.

Surviving are her mother, Martha Karber; father, Stephen Willett; husband, Derrick Lee; children, Tyrrell Gray, Marriah McGraw, Dodge McGraw (Lilian Bunner), Haven McGraw (Francisco Gonzalez); stepchildren, Darrien, Jalynn, and Daezhar Lee; siblings, Wanda, Steve "JR", and Joey Willett, Courtney Cook, Corey, Jaime, Jason, and Nelson Prater; uncles, David, Norman, and Billy Oliver, nieces and nephews, Trever, Shelby, and Aaliyah Prater, Megan, Kennedy, and Danica Haithcock, Jasmine Chandler, Jenny Cook, Carter Conley, Abigail Berberich, and Norah Frederick.
