ObituaryIn God's most infinite and awesome wisdom, in the wee hours of the morning on November 14th, 2023, The Lord whispered to his son; Minuet (Pop) Lee, arise son and come home; Minuet did just that!We the "Lee Family" Brokenhearted, though full of praise, wish to announce the untimely passing of our loved one SFC (P) (RET) Minuet Lee. Pop Lee was truly a "Gentle Giant" among many. He had a heart of gold and he never met a stranger. He was one who literally gave the shirt off his own back or the last dime in his pocket if needed. Pop Lee wore a myriad of hats including that of Son, Husband, Father, Father-In-Law, Brother, Uncle, Friend, and Mentor. But one of his favorite titles was "Grandpa"!Born in Talladega, Alabama on February 2, 1940, to Mary and Clarence Lee, Minuet was the 11th child among 12. He was schooled in the Alabama school system until his decision to join the military. Minuet enjoyed a long and illustrious military career until his retirement in 1985. Minuet served proudly and productively in the U. S. Army with duties here and abroad and was a recipient of numerous awards and accolades in Food Service. After his retirement from the Army with 21 years of service, SFC Lee moved his family here to Petersburg, Virginia in 1989. It was here that the Lees became members of the Crusade for Christ, COGIC where they have remained. Pastors are Benjamin and Mamie Shaw and the church has since been renamed Truth and Deliverance Ministries. Minuet loved the Lord with his whole heart, and those close enough to him knew his favorite song was "Something About The Name Jesus". He loved preparing meals and barbecuing. He maintained his yard meticulously and watched Western and Sci-Fi channels.
