Jesse Ann Price Graham Lee, 84, of Mt.Olive passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Kitty Askins Hospice Center.

She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Voldie Ladd, Dannie Mae Gwaltney, and Peggy Weeks and by brothers, Herbert Price Jr., Earl Price, and Bobby Price.
Ann retired from Home Health and Hospice of Wayne County (3 HC). She was a dedicated compassionate lady and loved taking care of people.
The family will receive friends Tuesday, April 9th from 12:30-1:45pm at Mount Olive First PH Church. A service to celebrate Ann’s life will be held at 2:00pm, also at the Mount Olive First PH Church, with the Rev. Jeff Dail, Rev. Bill Rose, and Dr. Larry Withrow officiating, followed by graveside service and burial in Wayne Memorial Park.
Serving the Lord and taking care of her family were the driving forces in Ann’s life. She truly loved doting on her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was her family’s greatest cheerleader and supported them in all their endeavors.
Ann’s table was the heart of her home. It was there that the family gathered for home cooked meals and joyous times of fellowship. When she prepared meals for the family, she made sure to have all of their favorite dishes. Ann loved a good fish fry with fresh spots and sea mullets. With her family at the forefront of all she did, she remembered everyone’s birthday and celebrated with a special home cooked birthday dinner.
Life for Ann simply revolved around her family. She was deeply loved as much as she loved her family, especially her grandchildren. Some of her most enjoyable times were shared with the grandkids at their many activities, but we all knew that nothing ever interfered with her “beauty shop day.”
Ann’s absence leaves a void in the hearts of her children and grandchildren, but her love and memory will remain close to their hearts forever.
Ann is survived by her husband Bee Julius “BJ” Lee of 43 years, and her brother, Thomas and Dean Price of Dudley. She is also survived by her children, Jackie and Brenda Graham, Jerry and Deborah Graham, Pat Graham Kendall and special friend Kenneth Smith, Joey and Michele Graham, Jeffrey and Diane Graham, Julie Graham and special friend Don Hargrove, Hampton Lee and special friend Sharon Smith; and her very dear grandchildren, Wade and Malissa Graham, Summer and Taylor Carr, Jonathan Graham, Anthony Graham, Chad Smith, Ashley and Duane Krueger, David and Susan Price, Rene Parker, Crystal and Paul Smith, Justin and Rebecca Graham, Wesley Graham, and 16 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. Mama, MeMa, Mama Ann, Mrs Ann…the many names you were known by, We love you and you will forever be in our hearts. Her favorite bible verse was:
“ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phillippians 4:13
