JEANETTE L. LEE

      Jeanette Lucille (Kitzman) Lee passed away peacefully March 25, 2018, in Kenosha.

Born in Whitewater on July 30, 1925, to the late Emma and Charles Kitzman.

She is survived by her children, Eleanor Kay (Dean) Amhaus, Richard (Laurie), and Robert (Kathleen). Jeanette was also the much-loved grandma to Rena, Andrew, Christopher and Nicholas, and great-grandma to Doran and Adara. The seventh of nine children, she and her siblings shared a life-long passion for cutthroat card games and a love of music.

After her retirement from UW-Whitewater in the late 1980s, she became an avid quilter and expert nickel slot machine player. The last surviving member of her large family, she was also preceded in death by her husband of almost 68 years, Eugene.

A celebration of her life will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, at the Congregational Church 133 S. Franklin St. Whitewater, with the viewing at 10:30 a.m. Burial to follow at Hillside Cemetery, in Whitewater.
