Obituary for Thomas Oscar Lee
Lee, The Rev. Thomas O.
Tom Lee, 84, of Saint Paul, died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones on February 9, 2022.
Tom grew up in Williston, ND and attended Luther College, where he met and married Jo Ann Egertson, the love of his life. Following graduation from Luther in 1959, Tom attended Luther Seminary, graduating in 1963. He served as a pastor in congregations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.
Tom and Joie retired in Red Wing, prior to moving to the Twin Cities. Tom loved to travel: China, Central America, South Africa, and throughout Europe and the U.S. The cabin in Cumberland, WI made every summer an enduring celebration. Each of his grandkids believed they were his favorite – and he did nothing to dissuade them.
Tom is preceded in death by his wife, Jo Ann; parents, Oscar and Alice (nee Helle); and brother Robert. He is survived by his children Hans (Nancy) of Minneapolis, Elizabeth Klein (Paul Kwiecinski), Paul (Tobie), and Kristin Ulland (Hans), all of Saint Paul; brother John of Duluth; grandchildren Daniel (Anna), Lars (Alexandra), Marcus, Eric (Allison), Kyle Klein, Odin, Zoe, Anders, Mette, Osa, and Espen; great-grandchild, Otto; and dear friend, Carolyn Nordin.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Saint Paul on March 12: visitation at 1:00 pm, worship at 2:00 pm. Memorials to Luther College, Luther Seminary, or Gloria Dei.
