He is survived by his son, Lee Edenfield of Pittsburgh; three siblings: Janice R. Smitley (Robert) of Atlanta, Ga.; R. Jill Edenfield of Whittier, Calif.; Guy Edenfield (Linda) of East Windsor, N.J.; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Preceding him in death was his brother, Edward James Edenfield; as well as his sister, Opal Pearl Edenfield Rodgers, with whom he spent much time fishing, a favorite pastime of his, at the Hutchinson Sportsman’s Club.

Lee graduated from Laurel Highland High School before enlisting and serving in the U.S. Navy.

He was also a member of the Church of the Brethren.

He was a devoted fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and enjoyed watching basketball.

The family will hold a private funeral service.

To honor Lee Edenfield’s memory, the family suggests contributions be made to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
