Alan Lee
Alan W. Lee, 76, of Buffalo Township, passed away on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at Concordia Lutheran Ministries in Cabot after a courageous battle with dementia and Parkinson's Disease.
Alan was born in Natrona Heights Oct. 29, 1945, a son of the late Frances (Schmidt) and John D. Lee, Sr.
Alan was a 1963 graduate of Freeport High School. He received his undergraduate degree from Allegheny College and his Doctor of Pharmacy from University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy.
Alan owned and operated the family business, Lee Pharmacy, in Freeport for many years before selling it in 1997. The pharmacy originally was owned and operated by his father, John D. Lee Sr., and after his passing was owned and operated by his brother-in-law, Earl E. Ebig (then becoming Ebig Pharmacy).
After Alan graduated from pharmacy school, the business was sold to him and again became Lee Pharmacy. While owning the pharmacy, he also had a Christmas tree farm on his property, where he cared for and sold Christmas trees during the holiday season. After selling his business, Alan enrolled at Penn State University, where he received a degree in Turfgrass Management; he had always dreamed of opening a golf course on his property. Alan worked at Treesdale Golf and Country Club for a short period of time before returning to working as a pharmacist at Medco Pharmacy. He retired in 2012 to enjoy time with his family on his property in Buffalo Township.
Alan enjoyed golfing, model trains, working his Christmas tree farm, being outdoors, spending time with the many dogs the family had over the years, and spending time with his family, especially granddaughter Kailyn, who held a special place in his heart. Alan cared for his extended neighborhood family and enjoyed having them and their children over to swim in the family pool.
Alan is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Roseann (Snyder) Lee; his son, Jeff A. Lee, of Freeport; his daughter, Dr. Jennifer A. Lee; and his granddaughter, Kailyn R. Batten, both of Buffalo Township. Alan also is survived by his brother, J. Daniel (Betty) Lee Jr. of Amelia Island, Fla.; and numerous nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews, all out of state.
In addition to his parents, Alan is preceded in death by his sister, Joanne Ebig; and his brother-in-law, Earl E. Ebig.
The family would like to thank and recognize Concordia Lutheran Ministries and Good Samaritan Hospice in Cabot for the excellent care and compassion shown by the entire staff to both Alan and his family during a very difficult time.
