Dorothy Ann Lee, 81, of Bellingham went home to be with her Lord and Savior on May 17, 2019, surrounded by her family.

She graduated from Cleveland High School in Seattle in 1956 and married Lester Lee on June 28, 1958.

Dorothy and Les raised five sons together, using their deep faith in Jesus as the guideline. The family moved from Seattle to Bellingham in 1970 and established deep roots in Whatcom County.

After most of her children were grown, she worked in the University Residences office at WWU for more than 20 years until her retirement in 2002. Dorothy was known for her huge smile, kindness, generosity and compassion that touched the lives of many. She loved serving her church, her beloved neighbors and the community.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her loving husband of 36 years, Lester, in 1995, and her father, Howard, in 1998. She is survived by sons Alan (Shannon) of Chandler, AZ; Mike (Barb) of Bellingham; Brian (Trisha) of Bellingham; Dale (Sonja) of Phoenix, AZ; Jason (Lauren) of Atlanta, GA. ; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; mother Cora Ashmore of Shoreline; sister Gloria Fuerst of Yakima; brother Don Ashmore of Maryville, TN; brother Richard Ashmore of Tacoma; and numerous nieces and nephews.
