Lee was born on March 26, 1928 in Davenport, a daughter of Eber H. and Violet L. (Rundgren) Weiford.  She married Harold W. Dismer on January 31, 1947 in Davenport.  Harold, also known as Dizz by Lee and his friends and family, passed away in 1993.  Lee was a loving homemaker for her husband, sons, and daughter.  She was the caregiver for her husband, Harold, as he struggled with ALS for the final 8 years of his life.  Lee enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  In earlier years, she enjoyed gardening, golfing with her friends and husband at Mill Creek Country Club, and spending sun filled days with friends and family at their backyard pool.  Prior to Harold's illness, Lee and Harold enjoyed traveling, especially spending time in the winter on Marco Island, Florida.  Lee and her niece spent several weeks each year in Florida for six years, stopping only when Lee could no longer travel comfortably.

Left to cherish Lee's memory are her sons, Daniel W. (Ginny) Dismer, Coal Valley and Jeffrey S. (Martha) Dismer, Moline; grandchildren, Sheila (Jim) Mountain, Jamie (Casey) Brodersen, Derek, Connor, Marshall (Ali), and Colin Dismer; great grandchildren, Ellie and Spencer Haynie, Avery Mountain and Hans and Finn Brodersen; very special niece, Kathy Lennon, and many other loving family members and friends.
