Lee Colwell Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on January 16, 2021 we had to say goodbye to Lee Colwell (Fernandina Beach, Florida), born in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Lee Colwell to show support.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Doyle Colwell and Lettie Wait Colwell; his former wife Marilyn; his children, Dr. Karen Colwell and Paul Colwell; and his sister Jean Edmondson.

He is survived by: his wife Barbara; his brother James; his sister-in-law Nancy Colwell; his daughters, Laurie Keyton and Alison Baxter; and his grandchildren, Susannah Miller, Erin Bovat, Kathryn Bovat, Dr. James Henry and Mark Henry.

Carol Waddle wrote a sympathy message

“I am heart-broken to hear of Dr. Colwell's passing. He was a legend and so passionate for law enforcement. He brought me up on the job from a newly degreed kid and taught me how to stand for what I believe in and work hard for the law enforcement community. Mrs. Colwell, my heart hurts for you and your family. Sending you all my prayers of comfort and peace. Carol Waddle Bryant, Arkansas”
