James M. Lee

February 7, 2017

James M. Lee, known as “Jim” or “Jimmy” to his friends, was born on December 3, 1935, in Dunbar, WV.

In 1954, a week after his high school graduation, Jim moved to the Hopkins’ Boarding House in Pensacola, FL to work at the Chemstrand Plant. He worked 38 years at the plant, where he met his wife of 39 years, Una. Jim has served on the Board of Directors at Gulf Winds FCU for 50 years. He is also a member of Ensley Lodge 278. Jim and Una enjoyed traveling every fall to the Great Smokey Mountains, fishing on Lake Talquin, and camping at Fort Pickens. Jim was dearly loved by so many, especially his best friends Peanut and Ann Johnson, who stood by his side during his recent illness.

Jim is preceded in death by his mother and father, Les and Virginia Hundley; and his daughter-in-law, Gayle Francis.

Jim is survived by his wife, Una Lee; his children, James A. “Fred” Lee (Cindy), John Ellis Francis, Doug Lee (Melanie), and Patricia “Pat” Cleveland (Fred); his grandchildren, Kari Lee, Amanda Eady (Matthew), and Nicholas “Nick” Walther; and three great-grandchildren.

Pallbearers were the Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee Members of Gulf Winds FCU.

Services were held Tuesday, February 7, 2017, at Pensacola Memorial Gardens Funeral Home.
