Margie Galloway was born March 1, 1951, in Hartford, Alabama, to Homer Galloway and Rossie Mae Shields Galloway. Margie grew up one of seven children. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Margie married the true love of her life, Steve Lee. She and Steve shared 51 wonderful years together. Margie loved to play bridge, tennis, and spend time with her friends. She was a dedicated member of the First Presbyterian Church. Margie was a farmer at heart and exercised that through her gardening skills. She loved working in her flowers and thoroughly enjoyed raising her tomatoes. The world revolved around her family. She adored spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren. Early in marriage, she worked as a nurse but the job she so loved and, where she excelled, was in caring for her family. She loved deeply, was a good friend to so many, an exceptional mother, and wonderful grandmother. Margie invested her soul and spirit into those she loved and will never be forgotten.
Margie Galloway Lee is survived by her husband, Steve Lee of Bainbridge, Georgia, her children, Jason Lee (Nichole) of Bainbridge and Lauren Lee Clark (Russell) of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; grandchildren, Sybil and Henry Lee, Sadie and Connor Clark; her siblings, Larry Galloway of Hartford, Alabama, Karol Lee of Williston, Florida, and Kenny Galloway of Hartford; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Jerry Galloway, Patsy Ward, and Peggy Kelly.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to Steve, Jason, Lauren and the rest of the family and close friends. Margie was such a beautiful, sweet soul. To know her was to love her. She had a way of making everyone feel her warmth. I am so sorry I can not be there tomorrow but you all are in my continued thoughts and prayers. May our Lord and Savior hold you close during this most difficult time.
With Love,
Paula Odom

A sudden death with no warning, is devastating. I know from firsthand experience. On the other hand, we can find comfort that our loved one did not suffer long term. Steve, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. That expression sounds so hollow when said. But when those words are backed up with genuine concern and love, then the words are most powerful and appreciated. Steve, I hope you can find peace and comfort in that Margie died suddenly in a place she loved. Ronnie died suddenly face down in the dirt on this old farm he loved. Sudden death is both devastating and comforting. BTW: Your first holidays will be the worst.
My best,
Gayle Gamble Thomas (Ronnie’s widow)
