Lee Ann Garvie

June 21, 1957 - February 8, 2024

Lee Ann passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 8, 2024, with her loving husband, son and family by her side. Lee Ann is survived by her husband of 33 years, Steve Garvie, and her son Richard Sumner Garvie, and stepchildren Justin Garvie and Brooke (Brett) Chamberlain, her siblings, Mark Williams, Debbie (Tommy) Moller, Roxanne (Bruce) Houser and Luke Williams, nieces and nephews (Casey Williams, Thomas Moller, Christopher Wise, Wyatt Wise, Rebecca Houser, and Elizabeth Houser). She was preceded in death by her parents, Sumner Williams and Jacquelyn Williams, her niece, Katarina Moller, her sister-in-law, Leigh Ann Williams, and her first husband, Larry Sparks and their son Matthew Sparks.

Lee Ann attended St. Joseph’s Catholic School and graduated from Santa Fe High School in 1975. She loved being a mom and going to the beach. She was quiet but had a wonderful sense of humor and would surprise everyone with a well-placed sarcastic remark. Lee Ann was a great listener. If you needed to talk about something, good or bad, she would listen for as long as you needed to talk and offer advice when asked. She had a fabulous smile. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
