Annajeanne Lee

Annajeanne Lee (AJ) of Ashford, Alabama passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026 at Extendicare in Dothan, Alabama at the age of 93.  She had been a resident at Extendicare for the past 3 years.  Annajeanne had previously lived in Ashford, Alabama. 

Annajeanne was born on February 22, 1933 to William Franklin Lee, Sr. (Hannah) and Lois Evelyn Meadows Lee and was raised in Gordon, Alabama.  Upon graduation from high school in 1951 at the age of 18, she was recruited to go to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D.C.   She was employed with the FBI for 33 years.  For the first 24 years with the FBI she was assigned to the Intelligence Division.  In 1975, she moved to the Records Management Division with a position in the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts Section.  She retired from the FBI in 1986 and was highly praised for her dedication and work record throughout her 33 year career. 

Upon retirement, she moved back to Gordon, Alabama to help take care of her Mother, Lois Evelyn Meadows Lee (Mama Lois), and her brother, William (Bill) Franklin Lee, Jr.   During that time she purchased a lovely house in Ashford, Alabama and lived there until having to move to Extendicare in Dothan, Alabama.

She loved cats and dogs, chocolate and trinkets.   She was also a wonderful Aunt to her nieces, Melissa and Marcie. 

When she would visit her nieces when they were young, she became the 3rd child and her nieces, Melissa and Marcie, adored her and fully enjoyed the time she spent playing with them.

Annajeanne had a very deep faith and was very involved in her church, Gordon Baptist Church.

Graveside service will be held at 1 PM, Saturday, March 28, 2026 at Gordon City Cemetery.

We will miss her greatly but we know she is in Heaven with the rest of her family.  We rest in knowing that God welcomed her home with a big “Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant!”

Annajeanne was preceded in death by her parents William Franklin Lee Sr. (Hannah), Lois Evelyn Meadows Lee, her sister Martha Merle Lee Dickson (Max), and her brothers William Franklin Lee, Jr. (Bill) and Johnny Madison Lee (JoAnn).  She is survived by her Nieces, Melissa Lynn Dickson Smith (Larry) and Marcie Lee Dickson McClendon (Neil), Great Nephews, Tyler Lee Smith and Dustin Lavon Smith, and Great Nieces, Madison Lee McClendon Bridges and Sophie Grace McClendon.

Go rest High on that Mountain.  Your work on Earth is done.      

We love you, AJ!!!!
