Margot Lee

Margot Lee was called home by her Lord and Savior while her loving daughters were by her side on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the age of 91 years. Margot was born on April 25, 1933, in Ramstein, Germany to her parents, Karl and Martina (Bögelein) Mettendorf.

She met the love of her life, William Neil Lee, and they were wed on May 15th, 1954, in Ramstein. Following Neil's discharge from the Air Force, Margot emigrated to Ponca City in August of 1954 to commence her new life. She was warmly welcomed by her new extended family in America, whom she held in high regard and loved dearly.

Margot served as the Manager of Sweetbriar Dress Shop for 15 years during her family's residence in Ponca City. She dedicated herself to her role, fostering enduring relationships with both customers and colleagues.

Upon retiring in 1987, Margot and Neil relocated to Keystone Lake near Mannford, motivated by their affinity for fishing and camping, as well as the proximity to their daughters. Margot obtained her United States citizenship on September 11th, 2002, having embraced her identity as an American while maintaining her ties to her homeland and family in Germany. Margot lived her life with profound love and determination for her loved ones, supported by her strong faith in the Lord.

Margot was a member of Albright United Methodist Church in Ponca City, OK, First United Methodist Church in Mannford, OK, and once she moved to Tulsa, she joined Asbury Church. Margot loved the people, and served with the Vacation Bible Study, and prayer groups.

She is preceded in death by father, Karl Mettendorf; mother, Martina Mettendorf; loving husband of 51 years William Neil Lee, brothers Eric Mettendorf, Werner Mettendorf, Rudi Mettendorf, and sister Gerlinde Schumacher.

Margot leaves behind cherished memories with her family, including her daughters, Dolores Lee and Cathy Wilson of Tulsa; sister, Rosemarie Seitz; brother, Norbert Mettendorf of Miesenbach, Germany; as well as numerous nieces and nephews in both Germany and the United States, along with many friends.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 AM Tuesday March 11, 2025, at Asbury Church in the Mason Chapel.
