Lee's Obituary
Lee Alan Haman passed away on March 28, 2023. He was born on July 6, 1961, to Michel and Martha “Marty” Haman, in New Rockford, ND. Shortly after his birth, they moved to Great Falls, MT.
In August of 1978, Lee enlisted in the Army and was honorably discharged in August of 1982. He did basic training in Virginia and was stationed in Washington and Alaska.
After the Army, Lee worked as a contractor with his dad, worked for the Salvation Army, and cooked for a couple of different establishments. He was just an all around jack-of-all-trades. In his spare time, he enjoyed doing many things. He liked to counter cross-stitch, latch hook, do word puzzles, cook, play cards, go bowling, play darts, travel, drive and tour old cars, motorcycle, camp, and snowmobile.
While playing cards one time, Lee was introduced to Susan. They were married in November of 2014 and had eight good years together. While married, they got to enjoy a big, loving family.
For many years, Lee donated a lot of his time to the Moose Lodge and even earned the highest degree a male member can receive, the Pilgrim Degree. In order for him to earn this degree, he had to hold all of the offices. He would be the caller on bingo nights, organize events, and just be the go-to-guy when needed. He was a life member serving there for over 35 years. For many years, he received the Moose of the Year award. He was one of the top recruiters for the Great Falls Lodge. Lee was also a member of the Elks Lodge and Eagles Lodge.
Lee had an unhealthy heart, and in 2006, he had the privilege of receiving a heart transplant.
Lee is survived by his wife, Susan; sister, Belinda Wolfe; mother, Marty Kruse; step-mother, Gloria Pankratz; nephew, Steven Shanholtz of Great Falls; niece, Amber Gillespe of Maine; and numerous family members on both sides. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Haman.
A celebration of life will take place on Sunday, April 2, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. at the Moose Lodge (401 21st Street NE – Black Eagle).
