Brittany Lynn Lee tragically passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at the young age of 22.
Brittany, who would later be affectionately named “Pretty Britt”, was born to parents Bryant and Jaime Lee on January 28, 2002, in Columbus, Ohio. Brittany was such a happy, beautiful, round face baby. Her dimples, perfectly mirroring her mother’s, were so deep that they didn’t just compliment her face; they gave her a distinctive look that she couldn’t hide regardless of her mood. Along with her mother and father, Brittany is also survived by her brother, Bryan Lee, her grandparents, James Alexander and Debra Warino, aunts, Janiece (Henry) Bryant, Sadie Lee, Janis (Mark) Woodfork, and Jennifer Warino. Brittany will be greatly missed by her cousins, Halei, Harmoni, Heaven, Tarrell, Tyron, Tamika, Tarrance, Toriana, Jasmyn, James, Janaya, Jaelyn, Jacolby, AnaMarie, Ayden and her extended family, Quovana, Ronnie, Jaquon “Quizzy”, Chavon, Lavon and Travon, whom she had a close and special bond with.
While Brittany was attending Leawood Elementary School, Jaime and Bryant decided to move their small family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where they both originally grew up.
Here is where Brittany would grow into the smart, funny, ambitious, generous, friendly, and slightly quirky young lady that we all adored. Brittany continued elementary school at Elm Creative Arts. Brittany’s bright personality and obvious leadership skills would be demonstrated as she entered Lincoln Center of the Arts Middle School. Brittany developed an immense love for learning. She loved to read and was an all-around excellent student. As captain of the middle school’s organization, Brother2Sister, she was an inspiration, a mentor and confidant to many of her fellow classmates.
In 2016, Brittany was accepted to Carmen High School of Science and Technology. During her short four years at Carmen, Brittany excelled as a student, earning the respect of her peers and teachers alike. Brittany’s genuine kindness allowed her to build lasting relationships outside of the classroom. Her dedication, commitment and passion earned her acceptance to University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and University of Sioux Falls. Brittany’s love for championing, supporting and empowering others made her decision to become a Human Resource professional, an easy one.
Earlier this year, Brittany accepted a job offer with DMS Health Technologies in Sioux Falls, SD. In true fearless Brittany fashion, she moved 500 miles away from what was familiar to her. She was excited about her growth and independence.
On December 14, 2024, at approximately 4:38 PM, a sudden, tragic car accident ended Brittany’s journey, leaving her family and friends struggling with a shocking, unbearable loss. Though Brittany’s time on this side of the sun was short, her brightness, the love she shared and the joy she brought to those around her will last always and forever.
Brittany will be welcomed to heaven by her grandmother, Carroll Lee, grandfather, Melvin Limmitt and uncles, Adam Alexander, Dayonne Washington, Jessie Lee and Tycer Lee.
Fly high Pretty Britt, your spirit will forever inspire us, and your love will always be with us.
