Celebrating the life of

Lee Edward Shuman

Lee Edward Shuman
Lee Edward Shuman was born on November 7, 1943, in Savannah, Georgia, and passed away peacefully on August 2, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of 82.
Lee is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Anne Smith Shuman, also of Savannah; his two daughters, Shannon Shuman Martin and her husband, William Mathew Martin, and Angela Shuman Hutson and her husband, Clifford B. Hutson Jr.; and his four much-loved grandchildren, William Lee Martin, Ansley Anne Hutson, Emma Reese Hutson, and Callum Murphy Martin.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George Lloyd Shuman and Bertha Sparks Shuman of Savannah.

Savannah always held a special place in Lee’s heart. He treasured time with his family and maintained lifelong relationships with his Benedictine Military School (BC) classmates, neighbors, and colleagues. He was an avid University of Georgia football fan, loved reading history, enjoyed studying the financial markets, and, while he and Anne were able, cherished traveling together.

Lee was a United States Army Veteran, serving in Berlin, Germany during the Vietnam War.

Lee enjoyed a long and fulfilling career in the insurance industry, where he specialized in legal claims until his retirement at age 72. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, a Juris Doctor, a Master of Laws, and took great pride in his work.

Above all, Lee was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was known for his intelligence, strong work ethic, and unwavering commitment to his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A visitation will be held Saturday, August 15, 2026 from 12:30 p.m. until 2:00 p.m., followed by a Memorial Service at 2:00 p.m. in the Islands Chapel of Fox & Weeks.

Rest in Peace, Cadet!

Lee was a great patient man. I'm really going to miss him. I've had meals with the Shuman's for the past 30 years. It won't be the same without him but we will still gather and celebrate in his honor. Love yall!

We all loved Lee. I have so many memories of him lovingly tolerating our antics at the Shuman home. And it did always feel like home there. He and Anne always made us feel like family and in some ways, I thought of him as a “dad away from home”. He was brilliant, kind hearted, caring and my gosh he was funny! I'll never forget the day he walked in his own front door with briefcase in hand, witnessed the familiar chaos and asked if he could go back to work. I had the pleasure of sharing breakfast and conversation with he and Shannon some years ago and took in his way of thinking and seeing the world from my “adult” view rather than those of a 20 year old college student. I so admired and genuinely loved him. Prayers for ease and peace to this family. He was a rock and I'm sure he is unbearably missed.

We will miss Lee so much. He and Anne were a part of our life as uga fans for more years than I can count. Rip

- Ed Wallace, Myrtle Beach, SC

We have known Lee and his family for more than thirty five years, beginning with his mother, Bertha. Whenever Lee was able to spend time in Savannah, he always gave us a shout out to let us know he was here. Lee was a good friend and neighbor and he will be missed by all his good friends on Piney Point.

- Fitch, Diane and Bill, Tybee, Ga

We are very sad to learn about the passing of Lee. He was a wonderful part-time neighbor after the death of his mother “Miss Bertha”. He and his wife Anne and family have watched our children grow up. Lee was a very kind caring wonderful neighbor and will be missed by the Broderick family.

- Virginia and Kevin Broderick, Savannah, GA
