Elmer "Lee" Middlecamp's Obituary
Elmer “Lee” Middlecamp, age 76, passed away peacefully at his home in Muskegon, MI, on Monday, October 24, 2022. Lee was born on January 31, 1946, to his parents Elmer and Eula (Santose) Middlecamp.

On July 23, 1966, Lee married the former JoAnn Green, and they spent 55 wonderful years together until she passed away in 2021. Lee was a man of simple pleasures; he enjoyed camping with his wife, as well as friends, Ruth and Larry Basch, Toey and Clare TerBorg, and Bubba and Marilyn Forton.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Eula; wife, JoAnn; son, Jon Middlecamp; and sister, Carolyn Goulet. A private family service will be taking place for Lee.
