Lee Epstein Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Pearson Funeral Home on Mar. 1, 2026.
Dr. Lee Epstein passed away on Jan. 23, 2026. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, who put his family above all else. He cherished his friendships, many of which spanned decades. He touched the lives of thousands over the course of his extensive career as a practicing psychologist. Lee's kindness and gentleness will be missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Lois Tarbis Epstein and his children, Ryan (Stacy) Epstein and Elizabeth Cantrell. He is also survived by the joys of his life, his four grandchildren, Eleanor and August Cantrell and Raymond and Lily Epstein. A visitation will be held at Pearson Funeral Home, 149 Breckenridge Lane, on March 8, 2026, from 4pm-6pm.
