Albert Lee James
On July 23, 2015 God unveiled his master plan and called Albert Lee James to his final resting place. Many of us do not understand “why?” Yet we must say, “Father not my will, but thy will be done.”
Albert was born July 17, 1944 to the late Willie Lee and Sarah Lee James. He was educated in the Appling County School System. Albert was a dedicated employee for several years at ITT Rayonier. He was a member of the 2nd Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. He was united in holy matrimony in 1964 to Ruby Dell Smith and to this union three sons were born.
Albert was preceded in death by his parents, his mother-in-law, Pearl Smith; father-in-law, Buster Smith and brothers-in-law, Lester and Alonzo Smith.
