Eliede "Lee" Drost Pounds, BHS '67 (1949-2023)

5/29/2023 UPDATE
Lee’s Memorial Service is Saturday June  4, at 1 p.m. in the afternoon at Sierra Vista Pres. Church in Oakhurst.



This is very sad... we just learned that Lee Drost Pounds passed away last night. Her brother Henry Drost said she had cancer surgery 45 days ago.

Lee was born in Holland and grew up in Burbank. She lived in Ahwahnee, Calif. Her other brother, Peter Drost, BHS '65, passed away in 2019. Read more here.

I have fond and fun memories of Lee from high school. We reconnected on Facebook and she has come to a few class relunions including last year. Such a sweet person who will be greatly missed by many.

We send our deepest heartfelt condolences to her family.

 Lee sent this photo from last year's reunion at Barragan's in Burbank.
