Myrtle Lee was born in Charleston on September 20, 1926, to the late Leonard and Alpha Stone Fitzgerald. She was a long time faithful member of Point Lick Gospel Tabernacle and was a dedicated member of the choir. I’m sure her voice could be heard Saturday morning as she stepped “Just Inside the Gate.”
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew Smith; daughter, Beverly Null and one sister and four brothers.
Myrtle Lee is survived by a daughter, Velma (Everett) Sword of Charleston; sons, Wesley (Betty) Smith of Wheeling and Brian Smith of Charleston; brother, Sonny Fitzgerald of Virginia; nine grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
