Lee's memory will continue to be cherished by his loving wife of 53 years, 
Carolyn Nelson Fontenot; four daughters, Kimla F. Smith and her husband,

Lee Fontenot, better known as T-Lee or Cowboy, was the heart of his family. 
Kindhearted but stern, he was the glue that held them together. He had a deep 
passion for horses, a passion that he passed down to his youngest daughter who 
loved to barrel race. He was a true cowboy who enjoyed watching western 
television shows and eating turtle sauce picaunt.

Visitation for Lee will be held on Tuesday, December 23, 2014 from 6pm to 9pm 
and will continue Wednesday, December 24, 2014 from 9am until time of services 
at 11am at Hargrave Funeral Home.
