A friendly Christian life came to an end on the late morning of Tuesday, February 18, 2020, when an Angel came to Merit Health Hospital, Nachez, MS and plucked a flower from God's Garden, Sister Joe Helen Watson-Lee.

Sister Joe Helen Watson-Lee was born in Tensas Parish Highland to the late Wally Watson and Rilla Atkins-Watson on January 5, 1939.

She confessed a belief in Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized at an early age.  She united with the Rufus Baptist Church, Ferriday, LA where she served as a member until her health started to fail.

She was united in wedlock to the late John Henry Lee on April 11, 1971.
