Letha Stallings Lee, 76, of Gibsonville, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, at Blakey Hall in Elon.
Letha was born on June 15, 1949, and was a lifelong resident of Gibsonville. She was known for her quiet kindness, strong devotion to family, and the simple joys she shared with those around her.
She worked for many years at Dixie Bell in Gibsonville and later at Blakey Hall, a place that eventually became her home in her later years. It was there that she was surrounded by care and compassion in her final days.
Letha enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. She loved sewing, reading, watching western movies, and listening to Rod Stewart—whom she had the joy of seeing in concert three different times with her daughter. These moments brought her great happiness and became cherished memories.
Her thoughtful nature and gentle spirit will be remembered by all who knew her.
She is survived by her sister, Louise Gulley(Sammy Luther) ; her sister-in-law, Betty Stallings; and many loving nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Edna Stallings and Carl Stallings, her husband, Billy Marvin Lee; her daughter, Angela Lee Williams; and her brothers, John Carl Stallings, Jr. and James “Buddy” Stallings.
A private family service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.

Letha will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
