Lee Normington Obituary

Lee Kathryn Normington

Feb 8, 1955 - Jan 26, 2023

Huron

Lee Kathryn (Jeffries) Normington, 67, of Huron, passed away Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023, at The Meadows at Osborn Park after a brief and challenging battle with cancer.

Lee graduated from Mount Hebron High School and studied at Howard Community College in Maryland. In addition to being a devoted mother and grandmother, she was also employed as an Accounting & Finance Specialist with FEMA, a position she took great pride in. In her spare time, she enjoyed sharing experiences with friends and family any chance she could get.

Quick to laugh and always eager to help, Lee will be remembered for her detailed stories, boundless heart, and generous spirit. She wished the best for all those around her and when wishing wasn't enough, she'd roll up her sleeves and simply saw to it herself. A caretaker's soul to the last, she spent her final days worrying less about herself and more about how the rest of us were doing. Some things never change.

Taken way too soon, Lee still managed to leave behind a surplus of love and laughter, and for that, her loved ones remain eternally grateful.

Lee is survived by her mother, Joan Jeffries of Ellicott City, Maryland; son, Eric Normington of Burbank, California, and his family; daughter, Jacklyn Miller of Council Bluffs, Iowa; significant other, Gary Wirt of Huron, and his family; brother, Scott Jeffries of Ellicott City, Maryland; sister, Betsy Walker of Baltimore, Maryland, and her family; best friend and ride-or-die, Helen Wirt of Huron, and her family; long-time friend, Becky Campbell, of Harrison, Alaska; and numerous friends and extended family members across the country.

She was preceded in death by her father, Richard; and infant daughter, Stacia.

At Lee's request, cremation will take place and the family will have private services at a later date.

In lieu of flowers or other gestures, those wishing to contribute to Lee's memory may do so to the following local organizations which provided her with exceptional care in her time of need, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center or Stein Hospice.
