A Fond Memory of Lee Repplinger
I have so many cherished memories of the time Lee Repplinger and I spent working together at Blackhawk. We were employed there for a number of years, and over that time, a strong bond of friendship grew between us — one that I truly believe was meant to last forever. Lee always called me “Jude,” and I loved that. It was her special name for me, and it always made me smile.
Lee and her husband, “Red” were fun to be around. I would often visit them and it was clear how close they were. One of their great passions was square dancing. I remember seeing so many photos of them dancing together — the joy on their faces was unforgettable. They were such a wonderful couple to know.
Lee wasn’t just a coworker — she was a true friend. She stood by me during some of my saddest hours, and I will always thank God for bringing someone like her into my life. Her kindness, loyalty, and warmth made a lasting impact on me.
I know that Lee is now in heaven, reunited with her husband and son. And in my heart, I can just see her and Red dancing a square dance for God — full of joy, full of life, just as she always was.
