Edward Lee Forester, of Oxford, known to his loved ones as Lee, passed away on October 4, 2023, at the age of 73, in Anniston, Alabama. Born on May 6, 1950, in Anniston, Lee was the son of the late Jake E Forester and Bernice C Forester. He was preceded in death by his father, mother, brother William “Bill” Forester, his beloved wife Sandra Forester, son William “Billy” Forester and his nephew Kerry B Forester. Lee’s memory will forever be treasured by his surviving daughter Laura Osborne (Zack), son Tyler Forester, and his granddaughter Avery Grimes.
Lee dedicated 20 years of his life to serving his country with honor in the Navy. His unwavering commitment to defending our nation was a testament to his selflessness and patriotism. After his military service, Lee also served his community as a mail carrier for Eastaboga. He was a member of Antioch Baptist Church of Oxford.
Our father was one of a kind. He always had a good joke, some naughty and some nice. He was a kind gentle man who loved his children unconditionally. We will miss him dearly.
