In Loving Memory of M. Lee Hannold

M. Lee Hannold, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, peacefully passed away on December 15, 2023, at his residence in Zanesville, OH. Born on September 15, 1957, in New Lexington, OH, Lee was a proud American citizen with deep roots in his community.

Lee led a fulfilling life, finding joy in simple pleasures and cherishing his loved ones above all else. He went on to make a meaningful impact as a dedicated Bus Driver for South Eastern Area Transit (SEAT) for 30 years. Known for his friendly demeanor and genuine care for his passengers, Lee was a familiar face to many in the community. He was a proud member of the Teamsters Union and took great pride in his work.

Outside of his professional life, Lee found joy and fulfillment through his various hobbies. He was a talented painter and frequently shared his artwork on social media. Lee's sense of humor was infectious, and he had a knack for cracking jokes that could bring a smile to anyone's face. He also had a passion for fishing and could often be found casting his line into the serene lakes and streams, appreciating the beauty of nature.

However, Lee's true happiness came from the love he shared with his family. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Rebecca Hannold, and a proud father to his daughter, Jessica Judson, and son, Jared Hannold. Lee's grandchildren, Eliana Paul and Blake Hannold, held a special place in his heart, and he treasured every moment spent with them. He was also a caring brother to Thomas Hannold and a beloved brother-in-law to Angie Hennessy, Steve Hennessy, Pam Sealover, and Howard Sealover.

A man of faith, Lee attended First United Methodist Church in Crooksville, where he found strength and solace in his spiritual journey. He loved singing karaoke with his wife, Rebecca, and their vibrant voices filled the room with joy and laughter.
