Bowling with friends was a big part of her life, she went to tournaments over the years with her bowling leagues.

Sorry to see that Lee passed away. I did not know she was ill and had not seen her for a while. I met her and her mother many years ago when I worked at the hospital. She was always nice to visit with and a good cook. Prayers are for the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Lee for 40 plus years , I have never worked with a more driven employee, her smile was contagious!!! She never spoke bad of anyone . 50 years she gave her life to that hospital, yet I believe she was NEVER truly recognized for all she gave to the hospital, SHAME ON THEM . SAD !!! Lee you will never be forgotten by those who worked with you day in and day out , we saw the beauty in you . May you rest in peace . To your family. my heart is with you all
