Matt Lee grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. When he and his brother Ted left to attend colleges in the Northeast, they so missed the foods of their hometown that they founded The Lee Bros.

CHARDON Marianne T. Lohrman, Warren native, left this world on Monday, May 3, 2021, and became stardust, lighting the way for her loved ones past and those to follow. She was incandescent. For 73 years, she shared her warmth, light and love. She laughed and cried with us. She created spectacular meals for us. She was a compassionate friend, incredible wife, amazing mother, proud daughter, guiding sister, talented gardener and writer, woke activist and so much more.
She was born Jan. 1, 1948, in Warren to Thaddeus and Irene Was. Her dad would smile as she romped, her blonde hair bobbing in the breeze. She will always be his “Buttercup.”
