Lee was born to Lee Paul Haumont, Sr and Letha (Pracht) Haumont on December 26, 1942, in Broken Bow, NE.  He graduated from Broken Bow High School in 1962.  He joined the Army National Guard where he served as a cook.  He also attended Kearney State University and studied Agriculture and Home Economics.  Lee resided in the French Table/Weissert area most of his life.

Lee had a deep love for family and tradition.  He worked his farm with Allis Chalmers because that’s what his family used.  He had Hereford cattle because that’s what his family had.  He never wavered on those because it was the Haumont tradition.  He was a sweet caring man but tried very hard to not let the mushy stuff show.

Lee is survived by brother Glen (Genny) Haumont of McCool Junction, sister Carol (Tom Richter) Haumont of Kearney, nieces Brenda (Peter) Dunbar, Amanda (Bill) Schropfer, and Clancie (Yassir Derkaoui) Haumont, nephews Mike (Anita) Haumont, Robert (Selena) Haumont, and Simon (Nikole) Haumont, many great-nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Lee is preceded in death by his parents and brother Clarence Haumont.
