Jean Lee

Wilba Jean Lee, 87, better known as Jean, passed away into the arms of our Lord on January 2, 2026. Born on December 13, 1938 in Johnston County, NC, to the loving arms of the late Milton and Mamie Rogers, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Jean was, above all else, a woman of deep dedication to her family. Her husband, children, and grandchildren were her biggest pride and always brought the brightest smiles to her face.

She was a member of The Order of the Eastern Star and lived her life along the teachings of Christ.
