OBITUARY
Kendra Annette Merriman Lee was born on February 7, 1986, to Lonnie Wayne and Angelita Aleman. Kendra went to be with her Lord & Savior on February 5, 2026, surrounded by her family.
Kendra had a gorgeous smile and a “quick wit” sense of humor that kept those around her laughing. She loved the moon and stars, believed in astrology, and found peace in sunsets and stargazing with her children. Above all else, she cherished spending time with her three children, who were the center of her world.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents: Robert Aleman Sr. and Sue Wilson; her paternal grandparents: Audrey (Buster) Allen and Glen Merriman; her special great-grandfather, C-Boy Merriman; and her Aunt Debbie Fraiser.
Kendra is survived by her husband, Justin Lee; her cherished children, Michael Chance (Madison), Gage Bryan, and Laynee Lee; her mother, Angelita Aleman (Edward); her father, Lonnie Wayne; and her step-father, Clifford Martin. She is also survived by her siblings, April (Ross) Robertson, Caylie Martin (Zane), Steele and Slater Borchers and Donna “Cortez” (Martin) Gomez; her nieces and nephews, Jaselyn Jade, Kynlee Annette, Raegen, Zailey, Kambree, Sirilo, and Aiden; her grandson, Cody Jones; her aunts and uncles, Lloyd Whitehead, Vickie Whitehead, Robert Aleman, Jason Jackson, Shanny Reed (Troy), Mary Followell, and Robin Aleman Turnsplenty; as well as her grandmother, Barbara Tidwell, numerous cousins, and lifelong friends, Lisa Holleman, Suzie Bevills, and Mike Holleman.
