Wilkerson, Lee Ann

Mother, Sister, Aunt, and Friend

  • Sunday, May 18, 2025

Lee Ann Wilkerson, 64, of Chattanooga, passed away on May 13, 2025.

She was born February 23, 1961. Lee Ann was a member of the Class of 1980 at Hixson High School.

Ms. Wilkerson is survived by her son Philip Wesley Wilkerson of Dalton, and sister Harriet (Skip) Markham of Signal Mountain, nephew Wil (Harmony) Markham, niece Mary Stuart Markham, and Dana Ramsey-Wilkerson (wife of late Philip Wilkerson).

She was preceded in death by her parents Philip Dudley Wilkerson and Jayne Stuart (Henderson) Wilkerson both of Chattanooga.

Lee Ann loved tending to her plants and flowers, inheriting her father’s master gardening skills. Lee Ann was also artistically talented - very much like her mother - able to design and create beautiful things with her hands. Always quick to share a smile and comfort a friend or stranger in need, Lee Ann most loved to laugh and have fun with those around her. She is truly missed by her family and friends.

A private service will be held in accordance with her wishes. The family asks that memorial donations in honor of Lee Ann be made to Hearth Hospice of Chattanooga or a philanthropy of your choice.
