Mrs. Lilliaween "Lee" Smeal, of LaGrange, passed away on September 23, 2025. She was born in Carthage, Tennessee, on November 24, 1931, to the late Willard Price and Ida Roberson Price.

She was known for her sass, strength, and fiery spirit, qualities that shaped generations of strong women in her family. Her fierce love and determination carried her through 93 remarkable years. She treasured the little moments and had a soft spot for sneaking treats to her beloved pets. Her legacy of strength, humor, and love will live on in all of us. Though her earthly journey has ended, we take comfort knowing she is reunited with her family and faithfully welcomed home.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Henry E. Smeal; her children, Rickey Smeal, Mike Smeal, and Shirley Helton; her siblings, Dorothy McLeroy, Ruth Crusenberry, Earnest Price, Kenneth Price, and JR. Price.

She is survived by her daughter, Pamela Chatman (Ricky); her grandchildren, Julie Hutchins (Jonathan), Jennifer Peabody, Virginia Evans (Jeff), Kimberley Cosley, Victoria Caldwell (Chris); her 16 great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren.
