Lee enjoyed her retirement by spending time with her family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved flower gardening, bird watching, reading, traveling, and shopping. She was quite the fashionista with an exquisite sense of style and interior design.
Lee had a special affinity for all creatures great and small. She especially doted on her kitty friends, Lolli and Whoopi, along with her faithful dog DeeDee.
Most of all, Lee loved people. She never knew a stranger. She had a quick wit, infinite intelligence, a loving heart and an iron inner strength. Her life was lived with class and grace, a joy to all who knew her. Lee will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by her many friends and family.
