Doris “Lee” Rinderman, 88, of Mooresville, NC, passed away on Tuesday, September 13, 2022.
Our hearts are warm as we say goodbye to our beloved matriarch. She was known as “Mom, Bapoo, Auntie Lee, and Friend” Her house was always filled with friends, family, and music. This Queen of Song danced through life’s ups and downs. A tiny but mighty woman met any challenge with grace, dignity, and flare. During her amazing life, she raised 7 outstanding children. Lee felt a strong duty of volunteerism and community. She along with her late husband, Howard, were instrumental in establishing the youth football and cheerleading program in the City of Coral Springs, Fl, in the 1970’s. The Rindermans also owned and operated Shoe Biz/Stride Rite shoe store. Upon moving to Mooresville, NC, in 2008, Lee volunteered at the Mooresville Soup Kitchen where she became a friend to many. We will always remember her for her love of people, gift of gab, and her wit.
Lee was born on November 21, 1933, in Brooklyn, New York to the late Warren E. And Doris Hohner Tucker. Lee was preceded in death by her first husband, Bruce Knight in 1961, her brother, Warren E. Tucker, Jr. in 1992, her eldest daughter, Linda Knight in 1996, her second husband, Howard J. Rinderman in 2010, and her son-in-law, Bill Millward in 2015.
Lee leaves behind a legacy of strength, courage, and laughter. Mostly, she leaves behind the many people who loved her.
She is survived by her children, Bruce and Karla Knight, Rainslee Knight Millward, Roger Knight, James Rinderman, Nancy Rinderman, Jayne Rinderman and Lindsay Sells and former daughter-in-law Robin Verville Newbeck. She also leaves her brilliant grandchildren, Erin Conway and Anthony White and Lucas Conway, Bret Knight, Juliette Verville and Clinton Knight, Chad, Jeb, and Reagan Brown, Jalin and Janie Rinderman and precious great grandchildren, Willow and Brave Bennett, and Ruby and Rosalee White as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
