Lee Raymond Allridge Obituary
Lee Raymond Allridge 1930 ~ 2006 Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Lee Raymond Allridge, 76, passed peacefully away at home after a valiant battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was born in Ferron, Utah to Charles Raymond and Pearl Larsen Allridge January 11, 1930.
He attended school in Emery County and then joined the Navy in 1948. During his four years in the military he served as a machinist, first class, sailed around the world twice and earned four Distinguished Service medals.
Soon after his discharge from the Navy in 1952, he married his sweetheart, Muriel Allred, in the Salt Lake Temple August 27, 1953. They were married for 53 wonderful years and were blessed with six children.
For most of his adult life Lee owned and operated Lee's Plumbing and Heating located in American Fork, Utah. He earned a reputation as a hard working, honest, and generous man whose life legacy was punctuated by complete integrity and honor. Lee was an avid outdoors man. This past fall marked his sixty-second consecutive year on the deer hunt. He also spent portions of many summers leading fishing excursions for king salmon out of Port Hardy, Canada. His time spent in the back country was always more about family and friends than trophy game, although he managed more than his fair share of both. He instilled his passion for the outdoors and wildlife conservation with everyone who knew him. Lee was a devoted and active father and grandfather who enjoyed sharing his love of gardening with his children, spending time with loved ones at the Big Horn Ranch, winter getaways in St. George, an occasional cruise, and watching his grandchildren on the backyard tire swing he made for them. He loved, encouraged, and constantly supported all of his family in their sports and musical endeavors. No greater joy was found than his time spent coaching his son in Little League baseball.
He was a member of the LDS Church and was a faithful home teacher. Lee is survived by his wife, Muriel, American Fork; children, Denise (Allen) Alexander, Bountiful, Michele (Tim) Welch, American Fork, Robyn (Rob) Welch, Seattle, Dallan (Susan) Allridge, Pleasant Grove, Amber (John) Stohlton, Eagle Mountain, Alyssa (Spencer) James, Orem; 28 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren. He is also survived by five sisters and one brother, Merle (Clint) Kartchner, Norma (Norman) Shumway, Lylas (Ted) Wycherly, Juanita (Glen) Allen, Marjorie Salisbury, and Keith (LaRae) Allridge.
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, December 5, at the American Fork 29th Ward, 673 East 300 North. A viewing will be held Monday from 6-8 p.m. at the Andersons & Sons Mortuary, 49 East 100 North, Am. Fork and Tuesday at the church from 9:30-10:30 a.m. immediately prior to the funeral services.
