Lee enjoyed spending time with family. She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandma and friend. She touched the lives of everyone she met. If you sang, she would sing with you. If you needed her, she would be there for you. If you were hungry, she would feed you. If you needed to talk, she would listen. If you needed a ride, she would take you.
