August 11, 1955 — May 4, 2023

Hea Young Lee, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully at home in Franklin, WI on May 4, 2023, due to natural causes. Hea was born on August 11, 1955, in Seoul, South Korea, and was known for her loving, generous, and faith-filled spirit.


Hea is survived by her devoted husband, Kwang Je Lee, with whom she was married to for over four decades. Together, they raised two wonderful sons, Michael Lee (Amy, Ava, Caiah, Zephan) and Andrew Lee (Rebecca, Jordy). Hea’s love extended to her siblings, Hae Ok Yoo (Sang Chun) and Hea Jung Choi (Chang Ho), with whom she shared a special bond. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren, who brought immense happiness to her life


Hea was a pillar of strength and resilience, moving to the United States in the 1970s and making a life for her family in Milwaukee, WI. She was a successful entrepreneur, owning and operating multiple small businesses throughout her career. Hea’s passion for her work was evident in her commitment to her businesses and the people she served. She was also an active member of her local church, participating and lending her support to those in need.


Hea’s interests were centered around her family and her love for them. She enjoyed loving and spoiling her grandchildren, taking great pride in their accomplishments and supporting them in their endeavors. Hea also loved to travel the world, exploring new cultures and creating lasting memories with her husband, children, and grandchildren. She was an excellent host, known for her delicious Korean food, which she lovingly prepared for her family and friends.


Hea remained committed to her faith since 1986, finding strength and solace in her Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a beacon of hope and inspiration to those around her, demonstrating unwavering faith even in the face of great difficulty.


Hea’s life was marked by her generosity, love, and kindness. She consistently put the needs of her family and friends before her own, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those she touched. Her memory will be cherished by her loved ones, who will forever be grateful for the time they had with her and the legacy she leaves behind.
