Rosemary Hughes Lee

Rosemary Hughes Lee, 79, widow of Raymond "Butch" E. Lee, passed away at her home surrounded by her family. She was born on March 8, 1945, in Bowen, Kentucky to the late Ed and Celia Martin Hughes. Her father was in Germany serving our country during WWII and she was nine months old when he saw her for the first time.

Rosemary is survived by her sons, Kevin "Bud" Lee, and Ken Lee (Heather); grandchildren, Keith Lee, Kendra Lee, Ken Lee, Jr., Kenzie Lee, and Lexi Nickell; sister, Patty Wells (Phillip); brother, David Hughes (Kathy); sister-in-law's, Ailene Ginter (Tommy), and Nelda Lee; many nieces and nephews who she adored.

In addition to Rosemary's parents, she is preceded in death by her brothers, Maynard Hughes, Larry Hughes, Keith Hughes, and Harold "Pookie" Hughes; sister, Alberta Berry.

Rosemary had a successful career at Square D. Electric, building many close relationships with her colleagues who became lifelong friends. She retired after forty-two years of service.

Rosemary enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren participate in sports and was an avid UK Wildcats basketball fan. Anyone who may have been near her home during a Wildcat game may have heard her cheering. Nothing brought Rosemary more joy than the opportunity to spend time with her children and grandchildren. She loved cooking delicious meals that would feed a small army.

Rosemary celebrated her faith and was passionate about her church, Christian Assembly of God. She considered Pastor Barnes a part of her family.
