[ARCHIVED] Geneva Flag Lowered To Half-Staff For Philana Lee

City Hall Flag Lowered

The Geneva flag at City Hall has been lowered to half-staff in memory of Geneva resident Philana Lee, 53, who died May 17.

Outside of her career in international marketing, Ms. Lee spent much of her time helping her mom, Jenny Lee, run Gen Hoe, the longest, continuously operating restaurant in Geneva. Ms. Lee's obituary can be found online.

The City performed the same flag tribute for Jenny's son (and Philana's brother) Dr. Peter Lee, 54, of Geneva, who died Jan. 27.

The City of Geneva expresses its condolences to the Lee family and friends on their loss.
