at BYM Annual Session 2021
Lee Lougee, a member of Annapolis Friends Meeting, passed away on March 28, 2021 after a battle with cancer. She had only recently moved to Friends House, where a memorial service was held.
A regular and enthusiastic attender of BYM Annual Sessions and Women’s Retreat, Lee was known for spreading love and peace as she warmly connected with all who crossed her path. At BYM, she served on the Peace and Social Concerns Committee and helped organize the 2014 Women’s Retreat.
At Annapolis Friends meeting, she was dedicated to Outreach, greeting newcomers and following up with warm notes. She loved worship sharing and ensured that queries touching the heart and soul were regularly at our Meetings for Learning. For years, she organized an annual vigil for the International Day of Peace.
Lee worked as a speech pathologist and English as a Second Language (ESL)
teacher, holding three master’s degrees in speech pathology, counseling, and ESL. She was devoted to philanthropic causes and helping children, volunteering with CASA, hospice and peace and conflict mediation.
Lee loved adventure, traveling widely, singing in the Annapolis Chorale, writing poetry, gardening and deep chats. Lee was immensely proud of her son Jay, her daughter Jody and her three grandchildren.
Our dear Friend Lee Lougee leaves behind a legacy of love and beautiful memories. A memorial service and interment of her ashes will be held today Saturday May 21, 2022 at the Annapolis Friends Meeting.
