Lee Sewell Reynolds died January 10, 2024 in Atlanta, GA. Lee was born in Selma, AL, November 28, 1946. She graduated from Parrish High School in Selma, Huntington College, Montgomery, AL and Tulane University. Throughout her more than 20 year career, Lee worked for Citibank in the corporate lending area. After her retirement , Lee completed flying lessons and received a pilot license which enabled her to share her skill and dedication through many Angel Flights, helping countless others get to needed medical treatments. Lee was a volunteer at Atlanta’s Crossroads Ministries, a program for the homeless in Atlanta. Lee’s love of flying also enabled her to enjoy a second home on St. George Island where she served on the Plantation Board as treasurer for several years.
Lee is survived by her husband of 54 years, Randy Sewell of Atlanta, her sister Nancy Reynolds Bennett of Selma, Leslie Bennett King of Selma, and a great nephew of Auburn, AL. Memorial services will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Selma on Saturday, January 27 at 11:00 am and at St. Lukes Episcopal Church in Atlanta at a later date.
Donations in Lee’s memory may be made to Trinity Episcopal Church in Apalachicola where Lee often attended and Crossroads Ministries, PO BOX 55397, Atlanta, GA 30308

So sad to hear about Lee's passing. She had a big personality, was industrious, quick witted, caring and kind. I first met Lee at Tulane. She was one year behind me, John Barter was one year ahead and Hugh Durden one year ahead of John. We were all fortunate to start our banking careers at Wachovia at the same time - some of those John Medlin golden years. We are all better off for having known Lee. Nancy and I send our condolences to Randy.
