Lee grew up in Holland and was known for his strong and independent nature. When his dad bought a boat in 1973, Lee’s love of being on the water and fishing began to blossom. After graduating from West Ottawa High School in 1980, Lee began his long career in manufacturing, working for Hart & Cooley and eventually OMT-Veyhl, where he began as a welder and moved into the position of tool crib manager.
In 1981, Lee met the love of his life, Elizabeth Kellar. They were married in 1983 and started their family in 1986 with the birth of their son Keith and again in 1990 with the birth of their daughter, Jessica, on Valentine’s Day. Everyone who knew Lee understood that his family was the light of his life.
Lee was preceded in death by his parents, Larry and Myra Woldring; father-in-law Bobbie Kellar; brothers-in-law Robert Kellar, Scott Kellar, and James Byers. Several aunts and uncles also precede him.
He is survived by his loving wife Elizabeth; his children Keith (Kellie) and Jessica; brother Victor Woldring; and sister Kathleen (Alan) Kiekover. He is also survived by mother-in-law Deane Kellar; sister-in-law Barbara Byers; as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
