Stuart, Leelon "Lee"

Leelon (Lee) F. Stuart, Age 92, of Waukesha, passed away on Friday, September 19, 2025. Born May 16, 1933, Lee was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life centered on family, steady kindness, and quiet curiosity.

Lee was preceded in death by his parents Leelon and Maria Stuart, sister Lucia Lanahan, beloved wife, Leone "Mimi" Stuart (née Godersky) and by his son-in-law Eric Wigdahl. He is survived by his children Sharon Reuteler, Gregg (Linda) Stuart, Lee Anne Wigdahl (Eric), and Julie (Russell) Stuart; his grandchildren Amanda (Jesse) Schomisch, Bradley Wooten, Benjamin (Kathleen) Wooten, Artemis (Haley) Dable, Kayla Wigdahl, and Haley Dable; and his great-grandchildren Zoe and Charlotte Schomisch, along with extended family and many friends.

Lee was in the Army & National Guard from 1950 to 1959 and was a Radio Repairman and Operator.

Lee began his career at Wehr Corporation (1959-1970), then moved to Payco American Corporation (1970 to 1996), where he was in Computer Operations and later became an Analyst. After retirement, he returned to part-time work as a Pharmacy Technician at Sam's Club.

Away from work and daily routines, Lee was an avid target shooter and a lifelong enthusiast of music, electronics, science fiction, and esoteric studies-pursuits that reflected his inquisitive mind and love of learning.

Private Services will be held at a future date for family.
