Katie Elizabeth Lee-Wallberg

Katie Elizabeth Lee-Wallberg, 32, Green Bay, found her peace, Sunday, August 25, 2019, surrounded by her loved ones. Born October 13, 1986, in Manistee, MI, she is the daughter of John Lee and Penny Rogers-Paynter, and step-daughter of Jennifer Calhoun and Eric Paynter. Katie was a care-taker at heart and worked for the majority of her life as a CNA. She considered her greatest achievement in life to be her dedication to her son, Bryan. Music was also very important to Katie; she enjoyed a wide range of music, attending concerts, but she truly loved playing her violin. Katie truly enjoyed spending time with her son, Bryan, especially their time playing board games together. She appreciated time just relaxing at home with her cat, Bow Bow, and her fiance’, Tom.

Katie is survived by her son, Bryan; fiance, Tom Engerson;
her parents, Penny Rogers-Paynter and John Lee; step-parents, Jennifer Calhoun and Eric Paynter; sisters, Amanda Lee and Brittany (Alex Beard) Paynter; her grandmother, Diane Paynter; one niece, Scarlitt; three nephews, Aryes, Colton, and Heylos; and many dear friends.

She was preceded in death by maternal and paternal grandparents; Tom’s mother, Carla Engerson, who was a mother figure to Katie; Uncle Bill, Aunt Sarah, and Uncle Mike.
