Marsha and Lee Ancona celebrate 50th anniversary

Posted

Marsha and Lee Ancona were married at the Little Chapel in the Woods in Denton, Texas on August 23, 1975. The newlyweds moved to Aledo for Lee’s first teaching and coaching job in Aledo ISD. Marsha worked as an emergency room nurse at Cook Children’s Hospital.

A funny early memory in Aledo is when Superintendent Charles McAnally mistook Marsha for a student and tried to put her on the school bus of the visiting team following a Friday night football game. Lee had to intervene! Lee was only a few years older than his students and athletes and has a special bond with them to this day.

Marsha and Lee raised their three daughters, Allison (’98), Lauren (’00), and Molly (’06) in Aledo and enjoyed seeing them grow and thrive in our special community. They are grateful for the wonderful memories and countless, lifelong friends they have made in Aledo over the last 50 years. They are longtime members of the Aledo United Methodist Church where Lee sings in the choir and Marsha is a member of the United Methodist Women.

Marsha and Lee celebrated their milestone anniversary with their daughters in Barcelona, Spain in the spring. Cheers and continued blessings to Marsha and Lee on their 50th wedding anniversary!
