Benny Lee Obituary
Benny worked as a machinist at Grenada Stamping for more than 45 years before retiring, a career that reflected his strong work ethic and dedication. An avid outdoorsman, he also enjoyed watching college and professional football.
A man truly devoted to his family, Benny never missed a ballgame or event involving his grandchildren or great-grandchildren. He was a member of Grenada Church of God and honorably served his country in the Mississippi Army National Guard.
