Edward Joseph Lee's Obituary
Edward Joseph Lee, age 78, of Milton, DE, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 16, 2023. Born in New York, NY, on August 28, 1944, he was the son of the late Edward and Rose (Dowd) Lee.
A native New Yorker, Edward was a graduate of DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, NY. He earned a degree in Business from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ. His path led him to a successful and fulfilling career with AT&T, which had spanned over thirty years before his retirement. In 1973, Eddy married the love of his life, Maureen Daus, and the two would spend over five decades together, raising a family, and creating countless beautiful and happy memories. In 2015, Eddy and Maureen decided to make their home in Milton, Delaware to be close to the beaches of Southern Delaware. Edward enjoyed dining out, along with music and dancing. Eddy’s love of life was contagious and wherever he went, he was the life of the party. He was a loving, devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His family will forever miss the sound of his laughter and his warm smile.
Eddy is survived by his beloved wife, Maureen; his son, Chris (Elizabeth); his daughter, Melinda (Johnathon Davis); his brothers, Richard (Connie), and Robert (Mary Jane); his sister, Geraldine Barberio, and his grandchildren, Nora, and Seamus.
