Lee Gorton, 95, passed away peacefully at Silver Cross Nursing Home in Brookhaven, MS

Mr. Gorton was born on September 29, 1925 in rural Richland Parish NE LA. Lee enlisted

in the Navy on June 26, 1942 and served aboard the USS Alcyone in the South Pacific, during WW2.

After the war he met and married Ruth Lee of Brookhaven, MS. Working in the oil fields

for the next 40 years, primarily living in New Iberia, LA., he and Ruth retired to “the hill” in 1988,

just outside Brookhaven near her old family home.

When not gardening, which he was great at, he loved fishing the nearby ponds, or tinkering

with anything old that had a motor on it. Lee could often be seen riding up and down

the nearby rolling hills in his bright red Chevy truck, waving to neighbors,

exhaust pipes rumbling, and puppy dog in his lap.

He loved our Lord Jesus Christ, his wife and all his family.
