Johnnie Mae Lee was born in Crenshaw County on January 20, 1932, to the late Charlie and Bessie Watson. She attended the  Crenshaw County Training School and started working at an early age. As a young child, she joined the New Hope Valley Baptist Church  where she sang in the choir for over 40 years and was a faithful member until failing health prevented her from being in attendance.

She was married to the late Charlie Lee in 1969; he preceded her in death. Johnnie Mae loved fishing, cooking, going to church, and being with family and friends.

She leaves to cherish her memories one daughter, Peggy Lois Long, of Montgomery, AL; son-in-law, Dwight Long, of Houma, LA. She also leaves two granddaughters: Teresa Long and Brittney (Marvin) Washington of Montgomery, AL; four great-granddaughters: Brooklynn Manuel, Gabrielle, Savannah, and   London Washington all of Montgomery, AL; one nephew, Larry (Janice) Robinson, one great nephew, Anthony Robinson, and a host of cousins.

Jackson Professional Funeral Services is grateful to the family of Mrs. Lee for entrusting our caring and dedicated professional staff with the final arrangements of their loved one. We solicit your continued, sincere support and prayers for the family as they navigate through this experience.

Thank You,

JPFS
