Lee A. Davison, age 88, of River Falls went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, November 11, 2021 at Hudson Hospital. He was born the son of Walter and Esther Davison on May 16, 1933 in New Richmond, WI. Lee graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1951 and then served his country in the U.S. Navy. He married the love of his life, Verda, and together they spent 63 wonderful years together. Lee worked for Whirlpool for over 30 years, retiring to the River Falls area. He enjoyed the outdoors, playing golf, fishing, hiking, gardening and reading. But, most of all he enjoyed his family. He is remembered as a loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and loyal friend to many. Time spent with his grandsons and granddaughters-in-law was priceless. He rarely missed an event of any of his nine grandsons as they grew up and his steady presence in their lives has been instrumental in shaping each of them into the magnificent young men they are today. Lee saw the beauty of nature and cared for the land, just as he saw the beauty in those around him and cared for them. He was a very intelligent and wise man with a knack for solving problems and making sound decisions. Anyone in need was fortunate to know Lee, as he would drop what he was doing at any time to render assistance to those who needed it. Lee touched the lives of all those lucky enough to know him and he will be tremendously missed. Lee is survived by his wife, Verda; children, Kim (Duane) Richardson, Brad (Debra) Davison, Dawn (Duane) Duncanson, Robyn (David) Tank, Kelli (Kevin) Redington; grandsons, Nick (Megan) Richardson, Aaron (Megan) Mullowney, Ben Richardson, Zachary Davison, Connor Davison, Sawyer Duncanson, Keegan Duncanson, Andrew Tank, Joshua Tank; sister, Sharon Davison; sisters-in-law, Betty Davison and Mona Johnson; many other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; 5 brothers and 3 sisters. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at 11:00 am at Ezekiel Lutheran Church (202 S 2nd St.) in River Falls with a visitation one hour prior to the service. Military honors will be performed by the American Legion Post #121 of River Falls. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred. A celebration of life tentatively planned in the near future. Arrangements are with Bakken Young Funeral & Cremation Services.
