Lee A. Wisroth, of Powell, WY, was received into his heavenly home on September 29,

2026.

He was born on December 13, 1953, in Kimball, Nebraska. God made him His child

through Holy Baptism on December 27, 1953, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Burns,

WY, the same church in which he would be confirmed, married, ordained, and buried.

He publicly confessed his faith during the rite of Confirmation on June 2, 1968. Growing

up on the Wisroth family ranch, he worked hard to help his family and rode his horse

Joe in his spare time.

Lee attended Burns High School, winning back-to-back state basketball championships

his junior and senior seasons. He graduated in 1972 as valedictorian of his high school

class. Lee played basketball and ran track for Laramie County Community College.

After two years, he transferred to Concordia University, Nebraska, where he played

football and met his future wife, Rachel. Upon graduating, Lee spent a year working

construction and traveling in his van across 48 states. He then moved to Cleveland, OH,

where he taught 3 rd grade for several years. On August 5, 1978, he and Rachel were

united in holy matrimony. Later, God blessed them with three children: Aaron, Leah,

and Jesse. Lee studied at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN, for four

years, and was ordained as a pastor on July 17, 1983. For the next forty years, he

answered the Call to faithfully and lovingly shepherd congregations in Crawford and

Harrison, NE, Saratoga and Hanna, WY, and Powell, WY. He also coached high school

athletics and refereed countless games of basketball and football. Upon moving to

Powell in 2006, Lee and Rachel began construction on their Haven, a home which Lee

loved dearly. They were grateful for many helping hands throughout the years of

building their home. In 2023, Lee’s full-time ministry ended due to health concerns, but

he continued to serve as Pastor Emeritus until his death.

He is survived by his wife Rachel (nee Eggers); his children Aaron Wisroth (Nicole),

Leah Rawlins (Thomas), and Jesse Moore (Cody); his grandchildren Keagan, Alicia,

Tristan, Lincoln, Ember, Elena, Caleb, Roman, Isaac, Levi, Elsie, and John; his sisters

Diann, Leann, and Rosann; as well as uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and cousins. He

was preceded in death by his father and mother, with whom he is now resting in the

presence of the Lord.

A funeral will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Powell, WY, on October 6 at 10

o’clock in the morning, with Pastor Dan Harrington officiating. A luncheon will follow. All

are invited to attend.

An interment and second service will follow in Burns, WY, at Burns Lutheran Cemetery

and Immanuel Lutheran Church. It will be held on October 8, starting at 10 o’clock in the

morning, with Pastor Ted Bourret officiating, followed by a luncheon. Everyone is

welcome.
