Lion Lee Sigler grew up the son of a Baptist minister.  He was born in Robstown, Texas, and moved to central Texas at the age of eight.  He graduated from Brownwood High School and joined the United States Navy shortly afterward.
     Lion Lee retired from the Navy after serving his country for twenty years, retiring as an Electronic Technician Chief Petty Officer.   His duties carried him to various locations around the world.   One of his most memorable tours of duty was to be a part of Operation Deep Freeze, spending a full year on the Antarctic continent, where he served at both McMurdo Station and the South Pole Station.
      After retiring from the Navy, Lion Lee met the love of his life, Saundra,  who he married in June of 1987.  They have three children and six grand children.
      Lion Lee joined the Early Lions Club in 1985 and served as vice president, then as president in 1988/1989.  His employment transferred him to a night shift, causing him to leave Lions clubs for a period of nine years.  He joined the Lake Brownwood Lions Club where he served for three years as club secretary and two years as Zone chairman.  Lion Lee and his wife are both Certified Guiding Lions.  In that capacity, they organized and joined a new club, the Brown County Lions Club, where his wife, Lion Saundra, was elected the club’s charter president.   He has been awarded the Presidential Award and the Extension Award for these efforts.   He has also been given the District Governor’s Appreciation award.  Lion Lee has been a member of the district governor’s cabinet and advisory counsel for the past five years.  The Siglers are charter members of the Brown County Lions Club in Early, Texas.
