Lee and his family moved to the Bakersfield area in 1940, 
finally settling in the Rosedale area. Lee attended Rio Bravo Union

proudly serving his country in the Army during the Korean Conflict. 
In 1951, while in the service, Lee met and married Martha Willis, of 
Bakersfield, his wife of 54 years. Lee worked in a variety of 
positions before beginning his career with Ba-Valley Industrial 
Supply in 1961 where he worked for 30 years until retirement. Lee 
enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and other outdoor activities. Lee 
also enjoyed working on all things mechanical, including fabricating 
hydraulic wood-splitters, conveyer systems and fire pits. Lee is 
survived by his loving wife, Martha; son and daughter-in-law, Mike 
and Barbara Mathis of Bakersfield; daughter and son-in-law, Sandy and 
Don Aiuppa of Anchorage, AK; and son, Randy Mathis of Cypress, TX;

sincerest appreciation to the doctors and nurses at Bakersfield 
Memorial Hospital, and a special thanks to Odyssey Hospice.
