Obituary Janice Delores Lee, aged 69, went to be with the Lord, peacefully, surrounded by her family on July 1, 2022. After years of service in the Oak Ridge community, she retired from Y-12 National Security Complex in 2012. Janice was a dedicated mother, grandmother, daughter, aunt, sister and friend with an incredibly generous heart. She was known for exceptional cooking that nourished her family. She shared that gift by feeding the family at every gathering and teaching many other family members how to cook. Our Jan was so very smart and was known in the family for her intelligence. She was an avid reader, a genius at crossword puzzles and had a strong, independent spirit that the Lee sisters are known for. Jan cared for, raised and supported so many in the Lee, Harris, Williams and Caldwell families. Her legacy of care, connection and good cooking will forever be remembered by so many of us who were privileged to know and be loved by her. Janice was preceded in death by parents, Robert E.
