Lee Walden Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Rogers Funeral Home on Dec. 7, 2025.
Lee Dale Walden, a resident of Henryetta, passed from this life on December 6, 2025, at the age of 89. He was born on August 14, 1936, in Okemah, Oklahoma to William and Ethel (Clarkson) Walden. Lee proudly served his country as a veteran and later worked many years as a skilled carpenter, a trade he took great pride in.

He is preceded in death by his parents, son William Walden, a grandson Michael Guzman, and his brothers and sisters.

Lee is survived by his wife, Shirley Walden, of the home; children, Bridgett Guzman of Henryetta, Owatha Walden of Louisiana, and Clarence Turney of Cordell, Oklahoma; grandchildren, Felicia Barrick, Shelby Guzman, and Breanna Frederick, all of Henryetta, and Curtis McGee of Wilburton; as well as several great-grandchildren who will miss him dearly.

In keeping with Lee's wishes, cremation will take place and no formal service will be held. Arrangements are under the direction of Rogers Funeral Home.

Lee will be remembered for his quiet strength, his craftsmanship, and the love he held for his family.
