Joan Alta Reading Lee

Joan Alta (Reading) Lee was born to Glennys and Alta Reading on July 19, 1940 in Murray, Utah. She passed away, surrounded by family, August 14, 2018. She is preceded in death by her father, Glennys E. Reading, and her mother, Alta L. (Denney) Reading, her brother, Steven Reading, and her sister, Jean Clegg. She is survived by two siblings, Scott (Vickie) Reading of Murray, Utah, and Norma (Jerry) Bagley of Mapleton, Utah, her husband, Marvin Lee, and her four children: Randy (Gwen) Lee, Curtis (Tonya) Lee, Doug Lee, and Shauna Jex. She was a proud Grandmother to 10 grandkids and a joyous Great-Grandmother to 10 great-grandchildren, who she doted upon until her death. Joan held many callings in the LDS Church, which included her work as the Ward and Stake Primary President and her work as activity coordinator, with her long-time neighbor and friend Shirley Gylling, for the young women. Joan, in time, taught Shirley to cross-stitch, which Joan was notable for and enjoyed displaying. She also created numerous quilts for her grandkids. Joan worked for Granite Credit Union until her retirement 20 years later. After her retirement, she and Marv enjoyed the Good Sams, where they traveled extensively and held numerous positions. Joan and her long-time friend, Jean Fuhriman, enjoyed walking in the mall, which inevitably led to shopping, and walking the park. Joan and Jean enjoyed the Parade of Homes as part of the Utah Heritage Foundation. She enjoyed the oldest homes the best, oftentimes dragging Marv to see them on their travels.
