Lee Ann Lemons, April 25, 1967 — December 02, 2018

Lee’s Obituary It is with great sadness that the family of Lee Ann Lemons announces her passing on December 2, 2018 at the age of 51. Lee Ann will be forever remembered by her mother, Patti (Lemons) Atkins; her brother, Blake Lemons; her sister, Julie (Lemons) Costa; her nephew, Hank Lemons and her nieces, Emily Lemons, Avery Slifer and Kendall Slifer. She will also be lovingly remembered by her Aunt, Ann Thomas and her cousins, Scott Bomer, Katie Blue and Annslee Taylor; along with countless friends.

Lee Ann was predeceased by her father, Roy Lemons. Lee Ann was a 1985 graduate of Sanger High School and received her Bachelor of Science from Texas Tech University. After graduation, Lee Ann moved to Huntington Beach, California where she worked at the Anaheim Marriott.

She then transferred to Chicago, Illinois and worked for the Michigan Avenue Marriott and Coopers & Lybrand for several years. While in Chicago, she enjoyed cheering for the Chicago Bulls throughout their championship “6-peat” and attending Chicago Cubs baseball games at Wrigley Field with her many friends. In 1997, Lee Ann moved back to Texas and became the Co-Owner/President of Lemons Publications in Sanger with her brother Blake.

Lee Ann was very active in the Krum, Denton and Sanger business communities and was committed to the Sanger News, Krum News and Denton Business weekly newspapers for two decades. Lee Ann was extremely passionate about youth sports and was a beloved “Aunt Lee Lee” not only to her nieces and nephew, but also to their friends. Many seniors and juniors at Sanger High School grew up with Lee Ann cheering them on during football, basketball and volleyball games.

She often would bring the kids lunch on school days and spent time on the lake with them during the summers. She will be forever remembered as a generous, tender-hearted and determined woman who always put others before herself. A celebration of her life will be held on Thursday, December 6 at 6:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Sanger, Texas with Pastor Grant Bowles officiating.

As Lee Ann was an avid animal lover, the family is asking for donations to be made to the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center in lieu of flowers. The Center is located at 317 North Elm, Denton, TX, 76207 and phone number is 940-349-7594 donations can be made in memorial at dentonasf.networkforgood.com.
