Lee Ann Poldson

Lee Ann Poldson received her eternal reward on May 30, 2026 at the age of 66.

Lee Ann Glovier Poldson was born to Joe and Marie Glovier on September 21, 1959 in Amarillo, Texas. She was a country girl at heart who lived her whole life on the family farm. She attended Canyon schools for most of her years but graduated from Caprock High School in 1978. She married Rodger Lynch and had two children, Stephanie and Jerad. Lee Ann was a homemaker for most of her children’s growing up years. She was also a “mama” to many of her nieces and nephews, as she was their caregiver during the day for many years. She occasionally took part time jobs to help out, working under Dale Young and her sister Kathy who taught her about accounting, and in a laundry business. She then started a full-time job as the secretary for Lawndale Church of Christ in 1988 and worked there until 1996.

On March 15, 1997, Lee Ann married the love of her life, Philip Poldson. Together, they enjoyed fishing, in the mountains, the ocean, or just in the pond behind the house. They loved trips with friends, and spending time with family. Phil and Lee Ann welcomed many Labrador dogs into their home and enjoyed watching them swim in the ponds and teaching them to retrieve. Their home on the farm was a gathering place for holidays and reunions. Phil was a wonderful caregiver to Lee Ann throughout her battle with cancer, and especially in her final weeks.

Lee Ann began working at Region 16 in 1996. She worked her way up to executive administrative assistant by the time she retired from there in 2023. She then went to work in the accounting department at Advo. She continued working there until April of 2026.

Lee Ann was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ. She was a member at Lawndale for many years, and taught children and teen girl’s Bible classes, Ladies’ class and hosted small group in her home. She was later a member at Southwest and found so much support and encouragement from the church family there. She lent her beautiful alto voice to many wedding and funeral singing groups, church talent shows, and in every worship service.

Lee Ann was an expert gardener. She absolutely loved having her hands in the dirt, growing things, sharing and preserving them. From flowers to fruits and vegetables, she always had such beautiful, bountiful crops. She lovingly canned vegetables and salsa every year, stocking not only her pantry, but also those of her kids and eventually even grandchildren. Lee Ann was also a wonderful seamstress. When her children were growing up, she made many outfits for them, especially for Stephanie. She made look alike cabbage patch dolls and clothes, and even beautiful formal dresses for weddings. Later, she took up cross stitching and made so beautiful pictures for many people. The biggest treasure to her family, though, is that she made a special quilt for each grandchild, each having many themed cross-stitched squares, including one with their name and birthday on it. Lee Ann most loved family and time with them. She loved to host Thanksgiving and Christmas at her home. She loved to have the whole Glovier clan out for a big family reunion every year. She loved to watch her grandchildren participate in the things they loved to do.
